Using a wide range of media and the traditional road trip as a point of origin, Chad Rutter addresses places and symbols of the contemporary American landscape (both physical and ideological, epic and banal) with an eye toward history. Through texts, drawings and paintings, photo composites, wooden structures and appropriated artifacts he explores the
rhetoric of nation building and the culture of its preservation.
