Event Description

Williamsburg photographer David Maxwell documents transitory realities. In this exhibit, his photography is a study of roadside things, artifacts that reflect the many varied lifestyles of Americans.

"As a student of Political Economy, I tend to look at the world through the lens of Creative Destruction," says David. "Objects that were once new grow old, perhaps obsolete, and are replaced with new, perhaps better things. Roadside places, roadside stuff, roadside lifestyle artifacts, come and go. They are one living reflection of Creation through Destruction. In the modern world's rush towards “progress” we can easily forget where we have been and what we have learned, even what progress is. I believe that seeing common things, artifacts from an earlier time or from our times, allows us to better see ourselves ... and perhaps the future."
