I am a huge fan of art (and art-related things) that exist out­side the realm of a gallery, mag­a­zine, or blog. While perus­ing Twit­ter, I came across the tweet by Meighan of My Love For You is a Stam­pede of Horses with a link to her new post about Kristin Farr’s very newest work.

I must say, I was pretty excited to see that and more of Kristin’s work. Being a fan of color and shape, Kristin takes it there. She also takes it a step fur­ther by installing her work in three dimen­sional forms in set­tings out­side a pic­ture frame or gallery.

I always love reoc­cur­ring forms and ele­ments in a work. It’s some­thing inescapable, and I think that a lot of us have the ten­dency to make the same kinds of shapes, draw the same types of things, and be attracted to sim­i­lar col­ors. It’s innate. Kristin has touched upon this, explor­ing the same form, but plac­ing it in dif­fer­ent set­tings. From here, it retains some of its orig­i­nal mean­ing, but also takes on a life of its own, depend­ing on context.
