Ellen Spirer

In my work I seek to go beyond the use of traditional 2-dimensional photography to explore a variety of themes and issues. Most of my work involves photography in a sculptural and environmental realm.

The beginnings of my work involved images of my mother and objects or fragments from her home. I have since moved to New York where I am working on a series of photographs of abandoned buildings and co-authoring a book about the zodiac with my husband, filmmaker Robert Palumbo.
