Walead Beshty — Three Color Curl (CMY: Irvine, California, August 24th)
Walead Beshty

Three Color Curl (CMY: Irvine, California, August 24th)

A vibrantly hued photographic work, Walead Beshty's *Three Color Curl (CMY: Irvine, California, August 24th)* is created through a process of exposing photosensitive paper directly to light without the use of a camera. The resulting image captures the physical interaction between light and material, producing sweeping, fluid bands of cyan, magenta, and yellow that curl across the surface in organic, gestural forms. The work foregrounds the inherent properties of its medium, transforming the photographic process itself into the subject of the piece.
