Caroline Owens

I have known Caroline Owens since last semester through printmaking. In fact, her book making during last semester intrigued me to do one of my own this semester as well. Seeing her work has allowed for me to see the combination of photography combined with other printmaking methods into different formations i.e. prints and books. The photos may seem similar to the viewer’s eye, however, there are different facial expressions that flow in a fluid motion as their titles entail them so as well. The common pale blue and faintly patterned background are actually overlaid lightly in certain areas of her face. This can add to some of the emotions she is trying to achieve by indirectly by allowing for herself to blend in with the background as she struggles to find herself. The setup of these prints allow for the eyes to focus on the image rather than framing them in which that could restrict her images conceptually.
