What Philip says about this new work:
"Things Are Looking Up" is a series of black and white photographs that re-invent roadside Americana as a sinister visual landscape. I made these photographs during a road trip across historic route 66 from Illinois to California with the intention of turning conventional roadside imagery on its head. The images function as metaphors for my emotional relationship to the current cultural/economic climate of the United States. Images of dinosaurs and folk art, commonly presented in a benign nostalgic documentary style, are electrified by high contrast 35mm film printed on 60"x40" fiber base silver gelatin mural paper. The difficulty inherent to the mural printing process mirrors the struggle of existing as an artist in the depressed American economy.
