This series of photographs works a reinvention of the iconography of ex-urban living.  The images are green with lawn, pink with blooms, and grey with snow, but they do not rehearse the overly familiar themes of cookie-cutter lives, 9 to 5 jobs, and the “commute.”  Rather, Roy Sachs’s photographs are more human and personal, delineating the line between stability and the unknown.  The photographs are meditations on the anxiety of impending loss. 

The photographs are minimally staged, employing instead photographic techniques that give the images dream-like and painterly qualities.  Sachs uses a 4x5 camera and color film.
