Artist Spotlight: Candace Caston

A selection of collage work by artist Candace Caston. Born in Louisiana and currently based in Georgia, Caston received her BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta. Caston uses primarily water-based media to explore the memory of place, her works acting as an intimate archive of remembered spaces from both her dreams and lived experience:

“Eyes look through the blinds towards the neighborhood, as the heat from outside seeps into the interior. I recall this as I reflect on the home I grew up in. Memories are captured in the windows, objects, and arrangements of a room or exterior space. They’re evoked by small details–the furniture, the weather outside, how the light moves through and around the house, or the shapes the blinds make as you part them to peek out. In reflecting on moments of solitude, seemingly small scenes become significant.”
