There are cer­tain shapes that appeal to me, as I’m sure there are cer­tain shapes/imagery/colors that appeal to you as well. It’s innate. Naomi Kol­steren has cre­ated a place where what I love exists!

Scal­loped edges, tiny tri­an­gles, and other geo­met­ric shapes make up the envi­ron­ments by Naomi, a Belgium-based artist. She uti­lizes light­ing, pho­tographs, and papers to cre­ate pre­cious spaces that exist in an almost idyl­lic setting.

Light­ing is used advan­ta­geously. Depend­ing on its source, she some­times lights objects in such a way that it cre­ates an exten­sion of the tan­gi­ble pieces. Naomi uses the edges of paper to cre­ate lines within each con­structed shape. Not only does it point to the hand-built aspect of her work, but is a com­po­si­tional ele­ment that helps to guide the jour­ney.
