Nina Jordan’s “Homes for Under $50,000”

Nina Jordan’s “Homes for Under $50,000”

Artist Nina Jordan’s “Homes for Under $50,000” is a collection of large-scale reduction woodcut prints of foreclosed houses across the United States. The artist explains her unusual choice of subject matter: “After the mortgage crisis, I was still looking, as I always had, and seeing incredible deals [in real estate ads]. I started noticing everything was foreclosed. It just struck me how devastating this was in places like Detroit and Miami. I found these amazing jewels of houses. It was a weird contrast for me, the thought of bankers being able to play games with these people’s mortgages and lives. To them it was just property. To people who lived in them it was everything. So I saw these compelling little images of houses that were real homes. They were really alluring little gems, but they were in such depressed and devastated neighborhoods. I try to capture that mood in print.”
