The unlikely pairing of minimalism and psychedelia finds solace in the work of Norton’s photographs and installations. At first glance, her photographs emit the timeless ethereal beauty of a modern Rothko painting. A closer look reveals thick paint, live and decaying plants, macrame, incense and dripping candle wax from which her sculptures are created and then photographed creating a mixture of counter-culture nostalgia and a formalist concern for light, color and space.
