TIME MACHINES

THE AUTOMOBILE IS OUR SOCIETY’S SCULPTURAL EXPRESSION OF DOMINATION OVER THE ENVIRONMENT. IT REACHES ITS MOST BAROQUE IN THE 1940S TO EARLY 1960S. THEY ARE LIKE SHIPS THAT WOULD NEVER FLOAT. BEAUTIFUL BEASTS THAT ALMOST HOVER.

MY IMAGES PLACE THE CARS OUTSIDE OF THEIR NATIVE TIME, BUT IN A SOMEWHAT NEUTRAL ALMOST NATURAL SPACE WHERE THEY RESONATE WITH THEIR PRESENT SURROUNDINGS.
