Sheila Pree Bright - Suburbia

By Sheila Pree Bright

American photographer, Bill Owens, documented the suburbs in the early 1970's producing a body of work using a photo-journalistic approach. Also, Gregory Crewdson examined the suburbs in 1990's, capturing large color photographs in a cinematic way showing psychological portrayals of white suburban lifestyles. Middle class multi-ethnic lifestyles do not have a presence within the contemporary art world. In 'Suburbia', I explore suburban life within the African American culture. It is intended to show a contrast between the American media's projection of "typical" African American communities and a realistic picture of normal African American daily life.
