Artist Statement / Bio
Tom Lamb is a landscape and ethnographic photographer. He uses photography as his primary tool, along with pioneering trends in new media. Through the art of storytelling Tom has dedicated his life to creating memorable photographs and championing environmental awareness. His images, both from the air and the ground, are often of in transition or abandoned landscapes. He uses images to examine how we interact with the planet's most valuable and increasingly threatened resources. Tom is interested in the abstract balance between the natural world and man's mark on the land. Lamb's introduction to the art movement known as Abstract Expressionism came while he was a graduate student at the Rhode Island School of Design in the late 1970s. During that time Lamb assisted artist Aaron Siskind who was well known for his own abstract photographic work. Tom's work is published, exhibited and collected internationally. Lamb Studio, a design, communications and photography workshop, focused on environmental and cultural interpretation efforts. The studio has collaborated with nonprofits aiding in efforts worldwide.
