My suitcases are not near large enough to cover that kind of wardrobe requirement. <p> </p> These photographs negotiate a paradox of desiring to appear as folkish and cosmopolitan. Romanticizing both the country and the city, I encounter an intersection of class and culture through objects I own within familiar surroundings. Attempting to glamorize this lifestyle to myself, I become caught in the middle of what I remember to be and what I desire to become. I am left seeing myself as a fool - a result that forbids the possibility of either illusion.<br /> </p> </div></div> <div id="content"> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/basement.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Basement, Archival Inkjet Print, 2004"><img src="128x128/basement.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/blanket.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Blanket, Archival Inkjet Print, 2003"><img src="128x128/blanket.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/carriagehouse.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Carriage House, Archival Inkjet Print, 2008"><img src="128x128/carriagehouse.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/deer.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Deer, Archival Inkjet Print, 2003"><img src="128x128/deer.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/door2.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Door, Archival Inkjet Print, 2001"><img src="128x128/door2.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/glasses.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Glasses, Archival Inkjet Print, 2003"><img src="128x128/glasses.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/harding.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Harding, Archival Inkjet Print, 2007"><img src="128x128/harding.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/haricut.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Haircut, Archival Inkjet Print, 2003"><img src="128x128/haricut.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/honeymoon.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Honeymoon Suite, Archival Inkjet Print, 2007"><img src="128x128/honeymoon.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/jesuslights.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Jesus, Archival Inkjet Print, 2008"><img src="128x128/jesuslights.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/light.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Light, Archival Inkjet Print, 2002"><img src="128x128/light.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/livingroom.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Living Room, Archival Inkjet Print, 2002"><img src="128x128/livingroom.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/loveseat.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Loveseat, Archival Inkjet Print, 2002"><img src="128x128/loveseat.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/mice.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Mice, Archival Inkjet Print, 2004"><img src="128x128/mice.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/molly.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Christmas Eve, Archival Inkjet Print, 2006"><img src="128x128/molly.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/poker.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Poker, Archival Inkjet Print, 2004"><img src="128x128/poker.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/pondbirds.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Birds, Archival Inkjet Print, 2001"><img src="128x128/pondbirds.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/recordplayer.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Record Player, Archival Inkjet Print, 2004"><img src="128x128/recordplayer.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/screen.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Screen, Archival Inkjet Print, 2008"><img src="128x128/screen.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/shine.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Shine, Archival Inkjet Print, 2003"><img src="128x128/shine.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/shirts.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Shirts, Archival Inkjet Print, 2004"><img src="128x128/shirts.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/treeflash.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Small Tree, Archival Inkjet Print, 2006"><img src="128x128/treeflash.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/trophies.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Trophies, Archival Inkjet Print, 2007"><img src="128x128/trophies.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/window.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Curtains, Archival Inkjet Print, 2002"><img src="128x128/window.jpg" /></a></p></div> <div class="thumbnail"><p><a href="800x600/windowflowers.jpg" rel="lightbox[plants]" title="Flowers, Archival Inkjet Print, 2008"><img src="128x128/windowflowers.jpg" /></a></p></div> </div> </body> </html>
