The American Vernacular

In The American Vernacular, Ralph juxtaposes found text in urban, suburban, and rural settings to explore how meaning shifts across time, place, and culture. By reassembling these words, he creates new narratives and language, reshuffling America’s past into a shared present. Humorous at first glance, the work deepens with irony, inviting viewers to reflect on how language shapes identity and culture. As in earlier works, Ralph blends nostalgia with contemporary themes.
