The scale of these prints, are 60 inches by 40 inches. The scale is a crucial part, as important as the imagery,  they work together. "To capture the nugget's sumptuous details, Grant shot the fast food with a macro lens and printed it at a supersized scale. The other works in the series, which include glistening packages of Wonder Bread and playful stacks of American Cheese, are similarly humorous, grotesque, nostalgic, and firmly grounded in a study of American iconography. The work is critical of the way an image can appeal to our immediate sense of self, one's country, and longing for an artificial past." Sarah Fritchey
