Originating on 16mm film and shot over the course of 10 years, this visual narrative starts at the Holland Tunnel and journeys to the Garden State Parkway, transforming the camera’s eye into an exquisite ordering of space, time, and meaning. Inspired by Robert Frank (and this artist’s own previous failures), My Garden State is an attempt to bring beauty and understanding from even the most inauspicious aspects of our world.
