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.

The physical objects that he uses vary greatly, but some objects he uses on multiple occasions include burnt match sticks, metal can lids, and books. He tends not to use people in his photography, but when he does he
