These images are the transmissions of a citizen who seems comfortable sitting with the knowledge that he is as excited by his home as he is alarmed by it. They are as much about the American roadside as they are the infinitely flat and delusional digital landscape, a place where reverence is arbitrarily distributed between the meaningful and meaningless.
It’s hard to ignore the current collective fear of losing one’s version of America—their way of life, the fear that it too is fleeting. It’s as if their concept of America is un-shareable. You will find images of implied loss, or as if something has been plucked out of the frame. Erased.
These works and The Changing Landscape of American Retail are part of my solo exhibition Souvenirs From Paradise at the Gallery at Mountain Shadows. Install here https://bit.ly/3tzl58T
