Statement:
My research focuses on America’s industrial past and its role in perpetuating our notions of progress. Motivated by utopian ideals, our lifestyle of freedom has historically been wrapped up in the pursuit of mechanical and technological efficiency. My subsequent artwork visualizes this drive to progress and its effect on all facets of society, ranging from industry to entertainment. Iconography representing the abundance and promise of industrial modernism now evokes nostalgia for a time when American optimism was specifically manifested in large-scale construction and the industrial environment.
