Suburban Fantastic
Despite its consistent presence, suburbia as a geography is hazy and ill-defined. So too the images of the suburbs we carry are unique and conflicting. For some, the suburbs are the pinnacle of middle-class advancement. A landscape of little kingdoms. For others, they are a trap of drab conformity. My internal suburb has a nostalgic topography, bathing in the endless sunshine of the halcyon days of boyhood. It was mapped on a BMX and surveyed by climbing trees. Suburban Fantastic takes the reader on a journey through a remembered suburb; the physicality of the book reflecting a sense of discovery and child-like apprehension where the unknown waits around every corner.
