In the Exquisite Suburbia series, my work is focused on how suburban mothers living in a demanding world full of family obligations, career goals and beauty ideals are responding to the standard definition of the “perfect woman.” New parents often move their households to the suburbs in the hopes of a providing their children with an exceptional education and secure environment. However, with such a utopia, certain responsibilities ensue. In today’s chaotic homes, multi-tasking mom’s are desperately trying to juggle a multitude of chores and errands while encouraging their children and fostering a happy marriage. Yet through the stressful workweek, mothers are required to maintain a perfect household full of manicured gardens, renovated estates and disciplined children. With so much pressure to succeed, mothers are pushed to live an exquisite life even though much time and energy is needed to achieve a well-balanced home environment. Along with preserving the perfect family, modern women and mothers are also required to remain ageless, young and forever beautiful. With the bombardment of advertising images, Hollywood celebrity magazines and reality shows, people continue to idealize mass media role models and images. My work offers possible statements and observations of how a woman’s role has changed the family unit and the effects of living in such an exciting albeit, frenzied time. Through this series, my goal is to offer a narrative which questions the intentions of suburbia, perfection and living the American dream.
