Artist’s Statement

Elizabeth Brady Robinson is a photographer who exploits the tradition of the “snapshot” to examine social and cultural environments. Her work is informed by the technology of instant mobile image capture, as well as travel and landscape photography. She offers viewers multiple points of view and cross-cultural references while evoking the split second of time during which one experiences fleeting frames of existence from the window seat of a car, train or airplane.

Her photography work is a mapping of geography encountered and time lived as the artist drifts from landscape both in her home country and abroad. Locations include both Europe and North America.
Robinson creates new formal and conceptual relationships between disparate images through scale and sequence to create a sense of rhythm and movement that leads viewers through the series of images. Her photographic installation work is a deliberate re-contextualization of sequential shots and describes a territory where the social  landscape, personal experience and pure aesthetics meet.

E. Brady Robinson: Shift in its entirety was curated by Chan Chao and was on exhibit at Flashpoint Gallery in Washington DC from Sept. 7 – Oct. 6, 2007.
