Sandy Skoglund

Sandy Skoglund is and american photographer that focuses primarily on strong color and light photography. She is what is know as an installation artist. Most of her work she takes months setting up and getting everything just right and then she will take several images from various angles and then deconstructs the piece. She focuses so much and filling the spaces with meaning and with purpose and intent. Some of her images there in very little going on verses others where there in an amply amount of energy and movement, regardless the color is always very contrasting and very prominent.  Her installations are very powerful and can have a lot of meaning around them.

 This picture portrays violence and war with the strong reds and yellow. Also it shows a sense of our fear of such things and that we want to hide away from it all even when it is all pointing our way. Personally that is my interpretation but that is the beauty of Skoglund's work, they are very open and can be seen many different ways. Through a further research I came to find out that this is actually labeled "Cold War"
