Book description:CAR PAINTINGS VOL. 1 is the culmination and first installation of an ongoing project that began in 2013.
The book is comprised of close-up photographs of automobile surfaces that have been dented, scraped, customized and repaired over time. While first focusing on formal elements and "painterly" gestures, the images simultaneously reflect on automotive, cultural, and personal histories.
