In perspective, Raedecker's suburban ideal of utopian design is dissected to its most primary components. Set to the angled patio grid, the scene sits uncomfortably in space: the house a shimmering optical confusion of threaded lines, the trees trailing off in the distance are an organic puzzle of doodle-ish whimsy. Raedecker draws attention not to the placid subject matter, but to how it has been rendered strange and surreal.
