==Photography==
Brouws, using myriad photographic approaches—from narrative stand-alone images to groupings of typologies—has spent the last 27 years visually exploring the American cultural landscape from a historical and socio-economic perspective. His subject matter includes: nuclear weapons and their past and present legacy, vernacular roadside architecture, the franchised landscape of big box stores and strip malls, suburbia, inner city environments, de-industrialized / post industrial cities of the northeast, and the contemporary and historical railroad landscape. With an affinity for what cultural geographers classify as TOADS (temporary, obsolete, derelict, abandoned sites) Brouws’s practice involves what he refers to as “visual anthropology.” Initially inspired by New Topographic photographers like Robert Adams, Joe Deal and Lewis Baltz, he also counts the photography of Walker Evans, Camillo Jose Vergara, Hilda and Bernd Becher, Ed Ruscha, Mark Ruwedel, and Allan Sekula as important touchstones.
Since the early 1990s his work has also been intellectually informed by the writings of cultural geographers, historians and social critics like J.B. Jackson, John Stilgoe, Dolores Hayden, Leo Marx and Mike Davis. These writers provided for Brouws “a conversion experience to a new way at looking at the built environment.”
