Catalog My Love

The imagery for this series is culled from mail order catalogs promoting farm, laboratory, nursing, biohazard, subculture, home and other specialty products. Every imaginable gadget advertised in printed form before the internet changed consumption and circulation patterns related to information, goods and services. From the Sears to the Whole Earth Catalog, these democratized Do It Yourself marketing niches foretold how swaths of lifestyle and political options would rapidly come to be leveraged, surveilled and packaged like news in a daily barrage of infotainment via social media.
