Abstract

While obtaining my Bachelor of Fine Art, I spent a lot of my time during those six years of school running away. First finding the need to get out of Provo, then Utah, and eventually America. It resulted in a lot of adventures, stories, and long drives. It was during these long drives that I consistently ran into each one of these small Utah towns, classically consisting of a corner store, a post office, and a child being pulled on a radio flyer. One after another after another. Slow down to 30 and watch the old signs from shops past inch through your windows until you can speed back up to 70 again. Eventually, I fell in love with these towns finding myself stopping in them more frequently, foregoing my final destination. I wanted to know more about the history, the stories, the people. And thus began this project over two years ago.
