Helen Pashigian

Just a few days ago I saw an article in the Los Angeles Times that caught my eye. “She Loves Light, needs space” is about Helen Pashgian, a Light and Space artist.  Her studio is in Pasadena, California and her first solo show is now at LACMA.  I remember seeing Pashgian’s work at the Pomona College and her work with light is truly unique.  She is very mysterious about the technicalities of her work, saying that people should simply enjoy her art.  I loved how in the article it states how at ‘just the mention of the word “light” and Pashigian’s face softens’.  Pashigian describes her affinity for the depth and the light, floating objects floating in space that is not defined.  She wants to capture the change of light, which, to her, is its most beautiful aspect.
