About the Book
Elephant Ears is an object d'art, by Gwendolyn Skaggs.
By marrying two images, each spread becomes a tale, rhyme, poem, or riddle.
I take photographs that explain what I am thinking. The image becomes a drawing of my conclusions. Within the captured moment lie my notions and opinions about the world I live. That moment is instinctive, not learned. Cropping happens in the lens, eliminating unnecessary words, while enriching others that remain within the frame. My cameras are as modest and unassuming as my images, it is my intention- as are the results. Photography is a tool I utilize to make my way in the world.
"It's real nice how you slip something to think about under the veil of familiar and beauty. Like a kiss between Arbus and William Turner."
