ABSTRACTED DISTRACTIONS: teetering between here and gone
Kimberly Flynn (born in Cambridge, MA, 1985) began photographing at the age of sixteen when she used her first paycheck from the local movie theater to purchase a 35 mm film camera, a Canon EOS Rebel G. A camera that never left her side the rest of high school to which she was compelled to document everything from nature to the people in her life at the time. As life progressed so did the need to provide a living and take care of others and while photography may have taken a backseat she always found her way back to it. The images that light Kimberly up most are not only the beauty of nature but the ones of people who appear to be looking right through you. Heavily inspired by photographer Nan Goldin, Kimberly’s favorite images to produce are of what is and who is around her living real life, which sometimes mirrors the sadness that engulfs many of us. ABSTRACTED DISTRACTIONS: teetering between here and gone is a collection of those images over the past twenty years
