Didactic Information |
Ziemienski concentrates on depicting modern transportation and their roles in the ever-changing landscape. His style is derived from his early career in commercial art. Ziemienski said, "I love history and have seen a great deal of changes in the West, either through recorded history in photography or film, or with my own eyes. I have always found this transitory period to hold a wealth of ideas." As a child, he loved trains and often found himself captivated by the braiding, or crossings, of rail lines with highways.
