Explorations of Light and Layers with @debrascacco

To see more of Debra Scacco’s artistic explorations of light and shadow in Los Angeles, follow @debrascacco on Instagram.

Behind the beams of light that the artist Debra Scacco (@debrascacco) photographs around her Los Angeles home is a deeply personal exploration of her sense of place in the world. When she was still growing up, Debra moved with her family from an Italian-speaking New York City neighborhood to the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. “Not only was I in a place I didn’t belong, but for the first time I understood there was nowhere that I did belong,” she says. “This feeling of ‘otherness’ has never left me.”

As an artist, this intersection of identity and migration continues to be central to her work. Recently, Debra moved from London and her way of documenting this transition is to produce ethereal digital patterns made from layering and mirroring her photographs of light. “I have no doubt that moving from the gray skies of London to the coloured skies of LA has a lot to do with my awareness and inspiration behind this work,” says Debra. “I just couldn’t ignore the stunning way light moves here.”
