Hayley
Eichenbaum

Palm Springs Angles_Hayley Eichenbaum_Homecoming Gallery_LR

It’s eight in the morning in sunny Los Angeles when we ‘Zoom call’ with photographer Hayley Eichenbaum. Hayley is immaculately put together for this early in the day. She always wakes up between 4 and 6 AM, when she’s creatively at her best.

Eichenbaum’s photographs are part of an ongoing series called The Mother Road, which nods to the moniker for Route 66 – a renowned highway that runs from Chicago to Santa Monica.

From neon-lit motels to convenience stores clad with retro signage, Eichenbaum’s images document the roadside facades she discovered during more than eight road trips across the country’s southwest.

“I hope to capture moments that are reminiscent of classic film sets”

We talk about road trips, the importance of words and how she would sneak out of class to spend time in her studio…

For me a lot of the Southwest is about the loving care that people have put in these dilapidated highways. Before commercial flights were a thing, those roads were the heart of everything. They connected all corners of America. There are so many businesses that thrived back in the day. And they still put so much care and love into these spaces. They preserve the romance of route 66. They are preserving this romanticized idea of what those road trips are.

BIO

b. 1989, Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA
Lives and works in Los Angeles, California

For the last ten years, Eichenbaum has documented her cross-country travels, resulting in The Mother Road series. Her photographic work expands on notions of the veneer; the focus on exterior architecture and curated landscape. Specifically the remnants of the American Southwest, which reveal that a well-maintained façade is crucial to societal survival.
