Artist Spotlight: Candace Caston

"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."

"Candace 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."

"Born in Louisiana and currently based in Georgia, Caston received her BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta."

"This collection brings together work from 60+ artists and is also our biggest volume yet: 276 pages, and for the first time, in a larger format."

Candace Caston, born in Louisiana and based in Georgia, received a BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta. Her collage practice primarily uses water-based media to explore the memory of place. The works function as an intimate archive of remembered spaces drawn from both dreams and lived experience. Memories are formed through windows, objects, and room or exterior arrangements, and they are evoked by small details such as furniture, weather, and the movement of light. Shapes created by blinds and moments of solitude make seemingly small scenes feel significant. The described collection includes collage work by multiple artists and presents a large, expanded volume.
