Suzette Bross subverts the instant imagery of her camera phone to re-imagine the landscape of her childhood. Bross pauses during her routine commute to take fleeting looks at the familiar landscape, sometimes seeing something new or newly seen. The motion of the drive warps and twists the images, just as memories of home, youth and truth warp and twist over the course of time. However, the instant flow of current information is paused as the truth in the bend in the road is questioned and the truth about her mark in time. What Bross sees seems to stay the same but is irrevocably altered through renewed and repeated telling of her story.

A tree gows in concrete and a rose in Brooklyn if this was Brooklyn if those birds were eating popcorn There's nothing to stop anyone from falling in the lake God doesn't build in straight lines the way we build poles The wayw we paint the black to match starlings God doesn't build with the rules of thirds and a camera only caputes what we can't see Sorry to ruin nothing while standing behind a lense or in the snow between a fence of in a dark room looking at dark birds or making something with mirrors because Lake Michigan is in the snow and ther's nothing to stop anyone from falling in and sometimes falling through - Kenyatta Rogers
