"Everyday we make journeys. During these journeys to our intended destinations, it is easy to become detached from the surroundings, lost in thought. It becomes hard to see anything before or beyond what we have already learned to see and most of what we see, when we see, is quick and remote. ... We live in an age of accelerated transition. These images are of the ‘in between’ places. Consider them part of our new picturesque, symbols of America, symbols of internal musing. "Suzette Bross, Commute artist statement
Bross's photographic work is widely varied, but I'm drawn to her commute series. The photos are shot from a moving vehicle, and frequently have the edge of a car window or an arm in the frame. I'm interested in the stress upon landscape repetition , and why we don't seem to absorb the settings around us; a passing glance is the height of attention the scenery usually receives.
Bross graduated from Northwestern University in 1990, and received her MFA from the Institute of Design, Chicago, Illinois in 1999. She has been exhibiting in the Chicago-Milwaukee metro areas for the past 5 years.
