Gears to Nowhere I Photography I 14” x 20”
KATHLEEN MCLAUGHLIN I have been always been interested in what Americans choose to dispose of and what they choose to restore. My photography allows for a critical interpretation of societal and cultural views of rust, waste, garbage and the environment we create. Constantly being challenged by the increase of subjects for new artwork, I am, unfortunately, finding new items waiting to be recycled. My photo venture is, simultaneously, fascinating and disheartening. Although, I do snap a few images of flowers, landscapes, architecture, and family, my primary focus has been on the details of life – the close ups – the many images we quickly walk by while texting. 66
