Open House is comprised of photographs of the interiors of subdivision homes. For this series, I asked each home owner to give me access to a room that most expressed their sense of self. I was curious to see what attempts home owners had made to overcome the uniformity of subdivision architecture. While the photographs attest to a basic desire for self expression, they also question whether it is possible for heavily marketed mass-produced products to adequately describe a person’s sense of identity.
