What’s for dinner, honey?
I’m a product of suburbia and live in 21st century suburban perfection: Orange County, CA. I’m intrigued by the post-war origins of the American suburban lifestyle. And observation tells me that even today many things remain unchanged. The perfect housewife, perfect children and the problem-less nuclear family ideals still exist. At least on the surface.
In these paintings I’m taking a look at what lies just beneath the suburban veneer. Borrowing 1-dimensional images from the 50’s and Barbie dolls to represent the unattainable female ideal, I’m adding a twist of humor and addressing some of the coping mechanisms of the modern suburban woman (Prozac anyone?)
Stay tuned as this series evolves.
P.S. for Gloria S.: the “problem with no name” is still here. RIP.
