Matt Portch - Lost America

Artist’s statement:

“Lost America examines a quiet stillness in a forgotten landscape that is, in a sense: ‘on-pause’. The meager backwater sticks and quiet corners, juxtaposed against the ambiguity of the well-heeled and contented in isolated suburbia. Some places have become a worn-out reminder of when America was building itself a brighter future. Other parts reflect the burdens of the past few decades, such as economic and industrial redundancy, social indifference, paranoia and even natural disasters. Others spaces appear frozen in time, their inhabitants sparse or long since departed. Together, the images represent a calming, melancholic outlook that aims to unlock a moment of reflective contemplation.“
