Artist's Statement
Having moved around frequently growing up, I use the suburban home - like the houses reminiscent of my childhood – as an idealistic icon of the American Dream. My art plays with the associations these quintessentially domestic buildings evoke about our personal dreams, political issues, popular culture, and current events. Through my interventions with these houses, I address the love-hate relationship I have with them and the sprawling communities they create.
