Home Invasion
The body of work titled Home Invasion is a series of photographs that documents the flattening of land and the construction of assembly line homes in southern Ontario. As the homes appear in the landscape, they are large, hollow, inert structures, devoid of spirit, stamped from identical molds with only minor ornamental variations. Each community is surrounded by a standard issue fence, for protection against physical or spiritual invasions.

In Home Invasion, the subdivision vernacular and its societal implications is explored photographically. There is no depiction of a violent act as the title may suggest. Rather, the title refers to the subliminal violence inherent in the societal quest for and concurrent struggle against sameness and assimilation.
