The photographs were taken in New Orleans in June 2006 following the same route I had walked for “Waterline” in November 2005. They show FEMA trailers set up in front yards. Most people living in the trailers were waiting on renovating their homes until they saw how the levees were fixed.

Furniture is moveable architecture. Folding chairs, like trailers, are for camping and temporary use. They’re about as much use to people in a flood zone as a trailer.

First exhibited at Richard and Dolly Maas Gallery, SUNY, Purchase, NY theys have since been shown at the New York Armory and at Krannert Art Museum, IL.
