The work in Hometown Fantasy Girl seeks to explore the intersection of class, race, and gender through the lens of 'white trash,' which can be best understood as a complex set of social representations. The exhibition features drawings and paintings that are informed both by research and personal experience, culminating in portraits of young women that discuss the intricately woven relationship between one's class, race, and gender in America.
