Imag[in]ing America
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS — In my work and especially during the creation of my long-term Imag[in]ing America Project, I have often focused on a sense of isolation found within contemporary American society, lately that isolation has taken on an even more somber tone.
So this series of images newly rediscovered and edited from my archive was created with that in mind.
In response to, in the absence of, and in anticipation toward change.
