Barbara Kasten (1936) is an American artist. Kasten trained as a painter and textile artist at the University of Arizona and the California College of Arts & Crafts. She was influenced by the Bauhaus movement and László Moholy-Nagy. "My introduction to photography was not an academic one. I took one class to learn the basics; after that, it was more of a hands-on relationship. To push the boundary of photography has never been my motivation; I am interested in how it can be united with other disciplines. I was influenced by artists in California, where I lived in the 1960s and ’70s, who were experimenting in many material arenas: James Turrell with light projections, Craig Kauffman and Helen Pashgian with plastics, the finish fetish surfaces of John McCracken. I had no restrictions on how to approach photography. I felt free to incorporate any of these concepts into my thinking. I wasn’t breaking rules; I was actually making up my own."

August artist in residency •• Carla Cascales Alimbau •• @carlacascales_ is an independent artist and designer from Barcelona. Her recent works have focused on the admiration for the natural, imperfect, mutable things 🌞🌚"My intention for this residency is to find new creative inputs and a space of tranquility and peace to be able to work on diverse projects related to the materials that the environment of Sausalito offers us. The energy of the surroundings, the harmony of the water and my personal experience on the houseboat will inspire my works"
