lunchtime lecture reflection - rosalind koons

Although I couldn't initially attend the lunchtime lecture, I later looked into the recordings and Ms. Koons's online portfolio, and really enjoyed learning about her work. Her online artist statement is interesting because it details her medical motivations for using biological inspiration in her work, which features often-abstract forms that are inspired by nature. I specifically enjoy her usage of color -- the colors that she repeatedly uses in her work are ones that I personally love, like sage green, grey, and pale pink. I also really love the up-close shots of her work, which are typically mixed-media. I'm more interested in mixed media than some other forms of art, so I love seeing all of the differing materials and techniques that she utilizes in her work.
