Growing up outside of San Francisco in the East Bay suburb of Walnut Creek during the 1950s and ‘60s, Mimi Plumb was raised amidst a changing landscape. Driven by a widespread push towards suburban living, the area’s rolling hills transformed into subdivisions as housing developments swept through the Contra Costa countryside. While a student of photography at the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1970s, Plumb revisited her childhood stomping grounds with a 35mm camera and the visual sensibilities of someone who shared a distinct, personal relationship with the landscape. Documenting the suburbs and their inhabitants, she made photographs that recalled the mood and memories of her early years living in these suburban communities.
