"My work involves collective, systematic processes that reflect personal observations and interactions with elements of suburbia. I create abstractions of the familiar, such as supermarkets, housing developments, parking lots, and fast food restaurants. Sites are interpreted with various surveying methods including color matching, architectural measuring, photography, process drawing and Global Positioning System (GPS) mapping. The collected data is structured to reflect personal and sometimes absurd perceptions of my environment. Materials and processes for each project are specifically selected to communicate visual, conceptual, and emotional aspects of the subject. Surrounded by consumerism, I have developed a critical yet tolerant perspective of the American 'big box' landscape. This sense of ambiguity is the core of my work, centered around objective yet intimate encounters with banality." - Richard Garrison
