dc.description.abstractBuilding a Foundation examines my personal history growing up in a Midwestern, conservative, farming community, within a family of boys. This exhibition of drawings and prints explores ideas of identity and the American male experience, and the distinct gender roles acted out by my father and mother. Through the use of vibrant colors, and images of various tools, everyday objects, and wooden structures, I am creating an alternate reality. In this space, I can question my past and present life as a man within contemporary Midwestern American culture.
