Michael Raedecker continues to use a combination of embroidery, inkjet transfers, and acrylic, with a singular ability to coalesce these media in a fluid painterly language. This is articulated in the depiction of suburban homes; a recurring symbol, styled as the modern bungalows which ubiquitously dot the landscapes of many countries. Onto their forms the viewer can project any number of stories, perhaps in succession as the lifespan of houses is much longer than our own. These structures are so familiar that they blend seamlessly with the surrounding terrain. Yet Raedecker’s demos intensify their common, pre-existing beauty relinquishing the grand gestures of narrative, for the alluring charm of the decorative, odd, and illusory.
