Pamela Crimmins discusses photography career shift and Evans Pond project
Pamela Crimmins began her artistic practice as a painter and sculptor before transitioning to photography. Her initial photographic work involved creating portraits of women artists in New York City, motivated by observing fewer representations of female artists compared to their male counterparts. Crimmins currently focuses on a long-term photographic study titled Evans Pond, Sequential Photographs. This project documents Evans Pond, located approximately 80 miles south of New York City in New Jersey. The pond forms part of the Cooper River system, which originates in Pennsylvania and flows into southern New Jersey. Her photographic exploration examines this specific landscape over an extended period.
