From the Co-Authored Collection:
Co-Authored” is a collection of abstract photographs created during an experiment in appropriation by photographer Krista Joy Niles. Rooted in her discomfort in the practice of artistic appropriation, she embarked on pilgrimages to photograph artworks by some of her favorite artists and to visit some of the most inspiring museums around the United States and Europe. The result is a mysterious and alluring collection of abstract photographs that are are playful and fun, yet sophisticated and elegant. “In respect of the artists whose work inspired my own, the project is titled to ensure that we share the credit for the photographs I make,” said Krista.
In a feminist disruption, Krista names her artworks after the partner or spouse of the artist whose art she photographs. It is her way of giving voice to the often unrecognized support systems that made these artist’s careers possible.
