"Elliot McDowell is gifted with an acute sense of the absurd and an enormous capacity to startle, affect, and delight. He charges the most mundane accessories of life with humor and tension. An electric mixer outlined against the desert, the Mona Lisa mounted on a tree, dollhouses, jukeboxes, luncheonettes, legs, concrete teepees, and shoeshine machines - all are transformed into sophisticated, seductive, and incomparably appealing photographs."
