Artist Statements

Poster One: Consumption and the Home

Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida is a wonderful place to drive or stroll down any day. It has various shops that cater to different styles and tastes. Whether you are in the mood for a fancy dinner or a to-go meal, it is possible on Park. There are expensive designer stores, but more affordable options are present as well. Because of this luxury and convenience many people choose to live close to Park Avenue in order to take advantage of its many perks.

Poster Two: Gender and the Home

The well-kept appearance of a home is very important across the United States. This is especially true in Winter Park. This poster tries to convey the idea that it is the woman that is keeping the house together. Because she does not work she is able to please her family and take care of the aesthetic factors inside and outside of the home.

Poster Three: Race and the Home

In the late 1930s the Hannibal Square community of Winter Park was in desperate need of a leader. That is when Mary Lee De Pugh came in. She motivated the community to come together and through that she created what was known at the Ideal Women’s Club. This poster tries to convey her importance to the community and how she truly helped a town.

Poster Four: Model Home vs. Real Home

Every home, no matter how big or how small, has a floor plan. This poster shows a floor plan in the background, but two very different lifestyles on the foreground. The perfect home is not always attainable because the realities of everyday life get in the way. This means that these two types of homes will always exist. They will exist not just in Winter Park, but all over the world.
