Jennifer Sky
I began my work in photography in earnest seven years ago with a still-life study of empty beach chairs. My aim was to catalogue the changes the coastline goes through as it cycles through the elements and time. The famous minimalist artist Donald Judd's craft was a large influence for me. His work inspired me to observe a chair as a piece of art, as sculpture, vacant in nature or in use. My photography catalogue has grown to include other beachscapes, landscapes and wildlife, focusing on a minimalistic craft. I use a simple on-hand iPhone as my camera. I look for clean lines occurring in nature. I do not stage or seek, I simply witness. The statement the moment is making is what I endeavor to capture with my lens.
I hold a BFA from The New School and MFA in Creative Writing from Brooklyn College. Previously I was a successful model and actor. Currently I am a mother to a tiny fluffy Pomeranian named Lucy Sky.
