Lynn Singer | New York, NY USA
Photographer Lynn Singer's subjects are Temple Detail, Landscape and the Faces of Greece. She studies the Greek temples in a way another might study the human body. These photos are alive in detail, we are up close and the feeling of history is palpable. History seeps through. The details reverberate. Her profession is voice so she photographs her subjects by ‘listening’ as well as ‘seeing’, hearing the drama of the ancient Greeks building their temples, and of the women drying their sheets in the sun. The sheets in a landscape echo the ridges in the temple and the folds in a Greek statue. Echo, drama and abstraction. How many times has the base of a Greek temple look like an elephant foot?
For twenty years Ms. Singer has been photographing her travels, particularly in Greece and creating intimate studies of family, friends and students. During that time Master printer Vincent Tcholakian of Diana Lab has been her printer and mentor. She presented her first show of Greece with The Greek Photos in ’98 at the 2/20 Gallery in Chelsea, in NYC. To date, every public presentation of her work has been photos of Greece. Ms. Singer’s work is in private collections.
