Artificial Green Grass Series
Growing Turf Series, 2017-2024
In works such as Tighten Your Belt as The Not So Little Engine, I explore the social ideas behind the expanse just beyond suburbia, where the American Dream intersects with reality. The tension between nature and societal innovation is at the core of this narrative, offering an irony inflected dystopian vision of the suburban fantasy.
In Tighten Your Belt: Ranch, the home cinches at the waist and yielding gathers and folds. Surrounded and adorned with the perfect yards, the whimsy of the carved foam sits poised as if a ziggurat in the landscape.
