Hannah Woodroofe is a self-taught artist and is currently working on her Ph.D. in Anthropology at the University of Chicago. For her current series, Woodroofe uses acrylic paint and tightly collaged imagery from turn-of-the-century Sears catalogs to construct rooms in an imaginary Midwestern steel town in the 1970s. Her work isolates, elaborates, and conflates decorative elements marketed to the working class over time, engaging the question of what a particularly American interior is and what it could be.
