Mentioned during Jessica's crit for her photographs of airports, but these images really struck me. Her images seek to rethink the boundaries between the public and the private, the social and political. During the Vietnam War, she produced Bringing the War Home: House Beautiful (1967-72), a series of photomontages assembled from the pages of Life magazine, where news stories featuring images of the dead and wounded shared column inches with glossy adverts for consumer products. Bringing the War Home: House Beautiful, new series (2004), is a reworking of that project.
