| I have been photographing the
chrome name plates of various 1960-1973 North American automobiles for
3 years. After the completion of this photographic project I began photographing
customized plastic models of 1960-1973 North American automobiles, which
are both new and broken down. |
|
I photographed these
newly broken down models within simple settings. These settings become
narrative landscapes that contextualize the models and their distressed
state. These newly broken down models and the landscapes they are located
in represent the marriage of both my desire and esteem. |
