Country Mile

Summary:"Country Mile is a series of photographs of highways, road stops, and places of cultural heritage that are stitched into the landscape of the United States of American by the Interstate system that connects them. Uniting a series of works made between 2013-2022, Country Mile is about the conundrum of being lost and not knowing it, and the paralysis of inaction that accompanies the conundrum. Set along America's highways, the photographs create a portrait of the United States in stagnation, whether it be from traffic or absorbed with finding the picture-perfect angle for the socials. The title is a colloquialism that means, a long indefinite distance. Behind closed doors legislators used pork barrel bureaucratic alchemy to transform normal Americans into roads and bridges; is that you over there, or just a jersey-curb?"--Artist's description
