American Type #7

*Constructions* is my first NFT project, weaving together two of my most significant photographic series—*American Type* and *Hedonic Reversal*—as a unique set of 28 images. These architectural constructions, which I make in my studio and then photograph, reference forces of urban construction, destruction, and decay. Devoid of the depictions of labor from which these works were created and of which the work is inherently about, I also critique the ambiguity of post-war American abstraction and art world elitism. These works reference autobiographical threads in order to point to the larger sociopolitical backdrop upon which issues of migration and labor play out.
