Elyn Zimmerman- “Elemental Works on Paper”

Elyn Zimmerman is not only a photographer. She is an American sculptor who is known for environmental art. Elyn is from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and receiver a bachelor’s degree from UCLA. She then went on to receive her MFA in painting and photography. When I first opened her book titled “Elemental Works on Paper” it caught my eye the most. Not only did it have cool textures, but her images are created with multiple different images compiled together, creating a grid throughout the image. Her series called “Typographies” consist of what seems to be different textures in nature photographed in different positions or spots. She then creates a rhythm throughout the image by connecting the image on the grid in certain places that have the same type of texture in both images. The images have a very dynamic feel to them and is not something you see every day in photography.

A lot of the images are of the tacky and kitsch interiors of hotels. This includes windows and curtain pairs, patterned carpeting, ornate light fixtures, flowers or vases, and corridors. Some of the images show ...
