Ella Barnes. New York. Elizabeth Street Garden Inc. 2022. Genesis Collection | Link to collection page: https://twin.studio/collection/genesis Statement: I am most curious about shaping light and shadow. The malleability of light allows for endless iteration and discovery. When I create, I exist fully in the present, absorbed in the playground of possibility that is the cyanotype process. I seek to create a visual cradle, a window to another world. Each work is a yearning for solace, an aspiration for elevation. A shadow transformed into light. Here, the eye can rest. Ella Barnes is an emerging artist based in New York, NY. Barnes employs the cyanotype process to create works in a variety of mediums. Cross multiplying photography with sculpture and collage, Barnes’ work questions the shape of consciousness, probing for hidden patterns and discovering visual oases. Barnes has participated in shows in New York, Miami, and Berlin.
