Historical Context:
"My images rely on this desire for things to be logical. Juxtaposing banal, everyday scenes with something extraordinary forces the viewer to reconcile the absurdity of the situation by connecting the different pieces. The images are not part of a single narrative, but all exist in the same world, a world consisting of memories that never happened...The washed-out colors as well as the family settings hearken back to a time when families sat down around the kitchen table. Connecting this shared perceptual history with puzzling imagery leads to visual narrative which is unique to each viewer." -Corey Miller
