The series “Greasy Smile” archives American culture using ephemeral objects and constructed photographic narratives. The shadow boxes preserve items similar to an insect display in a natural history museum or small-town cultural center. The intended temporality of gum or chips contrasts with the framed display of the artwork creating a humor seen throughout the work. The photographic narratives and isolated object images are constructed with digital photographs, juxtaposed with text and found objects and often printed using alternative materials.
