I've always been captivated by America and its landscape. I grew up on a steady diet of its culture through movies, television and music from the seventies onwards. It has always been a place I thought I might like to live, work and prosper, as so many others have. But instead of the white picket fence American dream, I've always been more drawn to its more sombre side. Over the past few decades, a vast majority of the country has wallowed in industrial redundancy, economic crises, terrorism, natural disasters and even paranoia. The result of which can be interpreted in its static and multifarious landscape. Many towns are worn-out reminders when America was building itself a brighter future. These places often appear frozen in time. In many places, inhabitants are sparse or departed altogether. Lost America examines a still quietness in a landscape that has long since been forgotten, or at best, appears 'on-pause'. The backwater sticks and quiet city corners, now mirroring its vast and lonely wilderness. Feelings of melancholy and emptiness echo details of the mundanity in a beautiful and unremarkable landscape.
