As another ode to growing up in Miami suburbia, Joshua Hall hand carved a wood cut-out that features a playful and chaotic scene filled with regionally recognizable suburban motifs. For instance, a strawberry associated with the picking fields in Kendall, a pickup truck carrying a lost shopping cart, and the driver with red hot nails whipping the steering wheel. The artist turns the mundane, ordinary, and everyday into a fully enlivened scene with implied motion, mixed with his iconic humor.
