EXPOSED

Fielding’s neon sign series comes
from a love of the nostalgic as well
as a deep desire to preserve a bit of
our commercial history that is being
erased by the gentrification of the
modern landscape.
“Town and cities used to have a unique
style, mood and feeling. Now when you
get off the plane, often one feels
like they are back where they started.
I guess a lot of my work yearns to
find remnants of the world that Walker
Evans saw.”
The expanding series includes neon
signs from Middletown, Connecticut,
Las Vegas, Nevada, Livingston,
Montana, Maui, Hawaii and upstate New
York among other locations.
