Midwestern Garage: Left Behind

2018 Collograph Prints
These prints use modest, direct means to pursue ideas about regional identity and local character. My focus has been the Midwest; and my research has been through road-travel and within my own community. My object-vocabulary comes from Detroit-area estate sales, thrift stores in Des Moines, Iowa and hardware stores in Lincoln, Nebraska. I use objects and materials directly –inked milk crates and flyswatters, for example – as a way to discover the meanings in daily things and the possibilities for reconsidering them.
