Abstract
This thesis depicts the fictional town of Hillside; a place that echoes the odd, sometimes lonely, experience of living in a quiet American town. The fictional painted neighborhoods of Hillside are based off an eerie juxtaposition of residential houses referenced from Pullman Washington and will be on view in the WSU Museum of Art April 4-May 6 2017. The painted homes in the Hillside Neighborhoods could be featured in a Hitchcock horror film--where windows are blacked out, there are no cars, shrubs, or active signs of life nor sense of communication. The perspective is crucial as the outsider is always looking in, removed, and thus is the defining the point of a view becomes that of a walker. The narrative I created, is of one that you are alone wandering, looking for someone to talk to, yet the walker cannot seem to find another soul (but instead only desolate buildings and/or houses).
