YR003 - HOW'S MY DRIVING?

ELENA VELEZ YR003: HOWS MY DRIVING?; ROMANTICIZED ABSTRACTIONS OF MIDDLE AMERICA.

YR003 CONTINUES THE BRAND'S VISUAL SOCIOLOGY OF OVERLOOKED AMERICAN SUBCULTURES. FOUNDED IN MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, THE ELENA VELEZ BRAND PROFILES AND EULOGIZES ARCHETYPES OF WASTELAND HEROINES, OMITTED FROM THE COSMOPOLITAN SELF PORTRAIT OF THE AMERICAN WOMAN. PARADOXICAL IN NATURE, THE EV PROTAGONIST IS BOTH THE AGITATOR AND THE PEACEKEEPER - SHE IS THE LOT LIZARD AND THE PRAIRIE WIFE. YR003 MATERIALIZES FROM THE VESTIGES OF AGRARIAN BRUTALISM, PURITANICAL CULTS, AND DISORDERLY ANABAPTIST YOUTHS TO BUILD A MODERN SUBTOPIAN FOLKTALE OF PERMANENCE IN A TRANSITORY PLACE.
