Title of Exhibition

Prograde & Retrograde

Artist Statement

Images of suburbia are a ubiquitous metaphor for

nostalgia and the myth of the American dream.

Growing up moving around the Eastern US, the

American suburbs were the backdrop of my childhood.

These seemingly identical neighborhoods existed no

matter which county or state lines my family crossed.

This made suburban homes feel reliable yet, in a way,

inescapable. In this way, my art takes a critical look at

the gap between the promise and the reality of the

American dream and suburbia.
