Project Ground By. Lauren Adams

Project Ground is part of a photo series by Lauren Adams focusing on the artist feet on several surfaces. Take what you want from it but Lauren insist that she is only doing it because she likes the way it looks. Accompanied with these photos is a short interview I had with her.


Dirty Cricket: The whole project kind of reminds me of something you would see on a roll of film that most people would consider an accident, not to take away from the artistic quality of the photos, but is there any element of that that led to the creation or inspiration of these?

Lauren Adams: I wouldn’t say accident, but snap shots. I just looked down at my feet one day on a brick path, and liked the way it looked. So i took a picture of it. Then i just started looking at my feet all the time.

DC: Are you aware of any reason why you liked it?

LA: Not really. Other than the fact i thought it would look good on a wall.

DC: Okay fair enough. You said this is only part of a continuing series, is there any goal in mind for the whole thing? Are you trying to photograph your feet on as many surfaces as possible?

LA: Yes I’m trying to photograph my feet everywhere. I don’t really have a hidden message or a deeper meaning behind these pictures, they just are what they are, my feet against different backgrounds. I’ll leave it up to the viewer.
