Phil Jung


- Phil is from my hometown and good friends with my brother and sister. I used to sit in on some of his classes while he was teaching at Rockland Community College and he's a great dude. He is currently finishing his MFA in photography from the Massachusetts College of Art. I was sent a link to his website last night and really enjoy his current body of work about car interiors. From his statement, "The interior of the car offers a thin line between public and private space. The interior, which is often littered with personal artifacts, offers a cryptic portrait of their owners. The aging exterior once shiny and new offers a glimpse of something that ultimately cannot be kept in its original state. The combination of both the interior and exterior reflect who we are, where we come from and ultimately where we’re going. My work is a modest examination of all these things." See more of his work here.
