This final project by Matheus Richard Bolton delves into the suppression of glamour and the fear of pain, disease, and death in the postindustrial American East. Through the lens of realism, the project examines the subjective experience of ugliness and aims to challenge stereotypical perceptions. Artists like Mike Brodie, Joel Sternfeild, and Carrie Mae Weems inspire this exploration of objective versus subjective in confronting societal norms and naturalized pathologies. Join the discourse on the complexities of beauty and decay as we confront our fears together.
