About the Item

Derived from photographs of subsistence craters formed in the aftermath of underground atomic tests, in the creation of Obar Bedrock, from the Bedrock Underground Tests series, I used very specific processes, each step building on the previous one and contributing to the kaleidoscope- like patterns that define this and other works from this series. All test images used in my Bedrock series are from the Nevada Test Site, the primary source of imagery for all of my Underground Test series. Using satellite images from Google Earth, the Obar crater photograph that I selected was refined and cleaned up, trimming and sharpening elements to focus solely on the crater's essence. Subsequently, this image was again transformed with various computer programs, wherein the kaleidoscopic pattern emerged. Next the resulting pattern was subjected to a contour outline program which provided the final touch, crystallizing the geometric imagery into its definitive form. While the method echoes that of all my previous Underground Test series, the Bedrock collection diverges with its embrace of a circular format, departing from the square footprint of its predecessors. The completed piece was then titled, the name Obar coming from the designated identifier assigned to the corresponding Bedrock atomic test shot. This specific naming process serves as a reminder of the historical context underpinning the artwork.

"Elements 3067" Abstract Mixed Media Layered Composition on Baltic Birch Panel
By Christie Owen
Located in New York, NY
This piece Owen depicts an abstract composition with the use of mixed media and bold patterns producing work which is visually textured and rich with layers and is a part of the artist's "Elements" series which creates intricate geometric minimalistic compositions. This work has a rustic and heavily textured quality, but the final result is intended to appear quiet to reflect a more minimal outlook on life and art. Creating pieces that allow us to escape the technological realm, contemplate modern living and nature and then communicate how each domain influences another. Her pieces aim to engage the viewer with an emotional and environmental disposition that evokes a sense of balance and tranquility in the modern world. This is a unique work is on baltic birch panel, and signed and titled by the artist on verso. Art measures 8 x 8 inches A native New Yorker, Christie Owen...
