Rinko Kawauchi
The artist I picked is: Rinko Kawauchi who was born in Shiga Japan, 1972.
Just from the examples shown in the PowerPoint in class I was fascinated with the narrative the photographer was able to express through the style of minimalism and limited color palette. Ill be honest, whenever it comes to my personal artwork or even down to the design of my own personal room, the main thing I lack is anything minimalist. I love chaos, and huge amounts of sketchbooks or books lying about. Filling my bookshelf to the brim with trinkets and infinite amount of art supplies everywhere. Filling my walls with posters, calendars, etc. There is comfort within the chaos I make. So, I felt like tackling minimalism was going to be a challenge for me. Even the end results aren't fully minimalist.
Rinko Kawauchi is mainly known for her dreamy, minimalist photography which display everyday objects with a dreamy feel finish. She originally studied Art and Design at Seian University of Art, but after a freelancing photography job (in advertisement) she released photobooks with her work and through those released photobooks did she become widely known for her book.
In her quote "It's not enough that the photograph is beautiful, "she states. "If it doesn't move my heart, it wont move anyone else heart"
She takes great care of how her images are curated in every shot. There are barely any people in her photography, but her subjects range from candles to a dead deer out on the road with a cloudy haze on her images or the shattering brightness of the sun striking her camera.

My visit to the Whitney museum!
The area was very beautiful and was really happy to finally be introduced to the Whitney. Upon entering on the second floor I was able to go into the exhibit "Trust Me" and was intrigued by the photography that was displayed and the stories that went along with it. Ill be honest, I don't usually go to museums for photography but was surprised by the beauty and rawness ( is that a word?) of the work. I was happy to see a lot of queer art be presented and the intimate work behind the photographers work. However the one that caught my attention was:
Name of Artist聽: Laura Aguilar
Title of the photograph: Nature Self-portrait #6
Date of photograph: 1996
Medium Used: Gelatin silver print
Why you choose the image as your favorite:
There are so many photographs that caught my eye. The colors, the way they were printed or the stories behind it. But this photo was the one that caught my attention first because of how liberating and free the woman in the photo is displayed upon the earth. They are resting upon rigid rocks above a stream under them and it feels freeing. Being completely naked, the photo to me exudes the woman returning back to nature. The way we were born is the way we were meant to be, with no shame of any clothing on them. In our society, as harsh as it may be, we are taught quite young that beauty is looking a certain way that we have come so accustomed to that we see it in media, through social media, etc. Women are supposed to be of a certain size, with a certain aesthetic or presence to be accepted into society and been seen as attractive when in reality, women or women presenting come in all shapes and sizes. I saw real beauty in this photograph. I saw freedom and no boundaries constricting the subject. But I also see earth, nature, harshness (the rocks around her) while she lays there soft, round and becoming one with environment. The black and white almost forces you to take a second look because of how easily the woman blends into the background. Woman and Nature!
