Grave Architecture: Delaware
Series of 9 Lambda prints face/back-mounted to acrylic,
Commissioned by No. 9 Contemporary Art and the Environment for installation at Pearson International Airport (Toronto)
"As recent events demonstrate, the suburbs have not been impervious to the shifting economic tides. Images from Drummond's latest Grave Architecture: Delaware series depict the future promise of proposed developments that stand in stark contrast to the reality of the burst real-estate bubble. Drummond's images emphasize the unsustainable nature of these structures, which are increasingly coming to terms with their tenuous and unrealistic relationship to their surrounding economic and ecological supports. Unmoored from the source of their support these images suggest an aberrant topology in dramatic need of realignment." -- Tomas Jonsson, Curator
