What are your favorite colors? Why do we gravitate to such hue or shade? Why do colors matter to us? Kat Medina provides compelling answers to such questions by situating the colors within the realm of the colony, which makes it at once historical and, simultaneously, a product of material exchange. By having colors within the perspective of a colony, she offers us a body of work that renders abstraction as a form of challenging our visual recognition of the world by recognizing the inherent boundedness of the visibility of objects and people, and at the same time, disrupting them as her brushstrokes turn the color palettes from solid lines into a chiasmus of paint.
