AMERICAN PORTRAITS
American Portraits (working title) is a photo-collage series that seeks to honor the vast range of individual stories held within the American people. These large mixed-media portraits consider Americans from all walks of life, adorned with shared personal snapshots, revealing threads of ancestry and aspiration, a mix of hope, loss and dreams.
We are made up of blood, bones and stories. Americans have come from every corner of the world — willingly and unwillingly — creating a cultural landscape of endlessly shifting storylines of many refurbished selves. Stories show us who we have been, who we are now, and who we are becoming.
