Throughout his over forty years as a photographer, Carson Zullinger has remained fascinated by the nude figure and its potential to convey the complexity of human existence. The both stark and subtle juxtapositions he establishes within his compositions reveal the natural tensions that exist on both the microscopic and universal levels. In some photographs, the curve of a woman’s arm mirrors the gnarly roots of a banyan tree while in others, the solid nude is an obstacle around which the gentle molecules of water slide. It is in either scenario that Zullinger captures the richly symbiotic relationship between the figure and the land. Margaret Winslow, Curator of Contemporary Art, Delaware Art Museum
