Much of my work examines the creation and subsequent passing of indicators of American identity, as well as American nostalgia for pasts that may or may not have ever existed. In 2008 I will be showing a series called "Road Trip" that investigates our sentimental feelings about the freedom of the open highway and the automobile, particularly at a time when highways are often clogged and gas prices are high enough to make us shudder at the thought of filling the tank.
