Stirling

Meagan Stirling examines the isolation and illusion that exists in the postmodern American suburban community. The suburbs, with non-descript, conformist housing and the artificial impression that all is idyllic and secure has become the embodiment of the American Dream. In spite of this, the over-imagined idea of safety becomes weakened by isolation, chance, and tragedy. Life is not predictable, safe, unchanging, or necessarily successful. Subdivisions crisscrossed with rows of box houses in close-knit communities are just as likely to be marked by the unexpected.
