Backyard Winter
Identifier

Abstract
Similar to Elam’s “Winter Garden,” “Backyard Winter” surveys fresh snowfall upon what appears to be her Logan Square home, a salient locale in Elam’s work. However, unlike its counterpart, “Backyard Winter” captures its representations at a higher vantage and consists of frantic and (mostly) uninformative pans sprinting across the lawn. Elam slows “Backyard Winter” near its final minute to take exception to a yellow utility vehicle hard at work; though the branches, she stalks its mechanical motions.
