Lizzy Oppenheimer

Again, Emily is on a roll finding GREAT photographers I loved. She told me to look her up when I was working on my artist statement completely frustrated that I couldn't write what I was saying out loud. Anyways, Lizzy photographs rest stops and after reading her artist statement, i cant help but think we're the same person. She decided to shoot this in a BARREN point of view without people, strictly SYMMETRICAL and GEOMETRICAL. Her idea came when she wanted to kind of immortalize her childhood through images of something that she was so attached to. She spent some time at rest stops as a child traveling and now since they are becoming extinct in certain states, shes using her art as a means of personal documentation. I think maybe this is what I was trying to say!!!
