PhotographY By Larry Emerson
Larry Emerson photographs woodlands and meadows, the sea and its creatures, structures and cities, and nature in her infinite magnitude. His unwavering eye sees not what is hidden but instead what unfolds before us that is unseen. “My work comes from things people walk by every day, something seen but never noticed,” he says. “The name of my business, The Art Around You, stems from this idea.” Emerson’s lush oversized color prints bring details to light in images that soothe. His work can be seen in hospital corridors, in works that celebrate city life, and in murals honoring long-established businesses. In his Pink series, Emerson has heeded his wife’s request for “something pink” to enliven a large empty wall in the couple’s home. We may never look at flamingos in the same way again.
