ⓘ artists statement regarding distinctly American photography.
My 'distinctly American' photography explores facets of the United States of America that aren't necessarily iconic but nonetheless represent an aspect of the nation's identity. I concentrate on locations and subjects that are frequently liminal spaces or trivial everyday moments that reflect an American perspective.
The reality of small-town Texas is one of the subjects I return to most often. Backroads, peaceful streets, neighborhood shops and residences, signs promoting the commonplace, and the unspoiled beauty of the rural, urban, and developed landscapes all appeal to me.
Overall, my 'distinctly American' photography seeks to portray moments and spaces that reflect part of American culture. By emphasizing the commonplace or transitional, it showcases a nuanced yet authentic, but limited, portrayal of aspirations, icons and stereotypes.
