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.
