dateline: (07-02) 13:49 PDT San Jose CA. (AP)-- from the series "datelines" describes a narrative borrowed from a contemporary news source.
Donna Anderson Kam sees our culture as concerned with economic prosperity in spite of the consequences. Through relentless media messaging we are encouraged to consume as a way of defining ourselves, while the environment becomes filled with waste. Kam's "datelines" series represents the psychological tension and potential dangers of contemporary life amidst a backdrop of material consumption.
