Suburban Secrets

© Patty Carroll
According to Chicago photographer Patty Carroll, the lawn is an arena that must be tamed and subdued. In her photographs of suburban lawns an intense curiosity arises as the unknowable lurks behind the landscapes’ shadowy ghostlines. Carroll’s work is currently on view in the exhibition, Suburbanxxx, at O’Born Contemporary in Toronto.

Congratulations to Patty Carroll! I love your work. There eerie nature of this image is somehow comforting to me. Layers of texture are delightful.

The ways in which all elements echo one another are wonderful (screened windows/roof tiles, cloud/upper left tree, upper left tree/lower tree shadow). Love your semi-scary semi-noir suburban vision, Patty….

Very nice, moody. The cloud looks like an eye.
