Housing Development, Charlotte, NC


I have been working on a collection of images that I call "Sigils of Suburbia." When I look down on many of the more modern housing developments, I am struck by the carefully asymmetrical curves of their roads and cul-de-sacs. Envisioning them without their houses, reduced to only their fundamental tarmac brushstrokes, I see calligraphy, pictograms, runes. To me, this one speaks of organic growth: a complex flower bud with tendrils uncurling above and leaves extending of its stem below.
