Studies in Color and Transparency
This project explores color theory through layered arrangements of colored acetate on a light table. It is informed by the work in color theory of Josef Albers and Johannes Itten and approached through play and experimentation.
This project was supported through a Visual Arts Fellowship from the Alabama State Council on the Arts.
Study I: Intensity Shift - Weber–Fechner Law
Stacking layers of the same color to observe how saturation grows non-linearly
Study II: Simultaneous Contrast
Two translucent colors placed directly edge-to-edge
Compositional Sets
In this series, I began with a fixed “preset” of transparencies in varying colors and sizes. Working at random, I arranged them into a set number of compositions. Each composition becomes a response to the same starting conditions, highlighting how small shifts in placement, overlap, and proportion create entirely different visual outcomes.
