Tammi Brazee
Artist’s Statement
In this series, I explore tourism in America. I investigate the roads we build, the parks we set aside, the objects we purchase, and the activities in which we participate. We simultaneously want a world filled with beautiful landscapes and a lifestyle with high rates of natural resource consumption. Unfortunately, this cripples precious ecosystems, which by association destroys the beautiful view. We want the best of both worlds; we want our view and to eat it too. My work satirically explores this paradox and the tension that exists when a society tries to reconcile competing desires.
