EMILY TOBEY
I am an eastern Long Island-based photographer and artist.
With camera in hand, I observe closely, finding beauty in the ordinary and forgotten, color interrupting the monochromatic, shape, form, flow. I make the unnoticed noticeable.
As a painter, I am inspired by the landscapes and seascapes of the North Fork of Long Island. Color and shape, and their interactions, are my visual language, creating a sense of exuberance and joy. Lines emerge fluidly from my hand to create unexpected or unplanned forms which might suggest fish, boats, bubbles, and the inner workings of living things.
