These works represent an outsider's view of this archetypal American city. Broad concrete freeways encircle an overlooked downtown; oversaturated colours are unsullied by snow, slush, and road salt; streetscapes reveal incongruities and absurdities when explored on foot. Simultaneous changes in scale and perspective complicate the flat, endless panoramas that were designed with an eye to endless horizontal expansion.
