Dog Food & Oysters follows two road trips taken by photographer Sean Davey across the United States in 2004 and 2005 as the American war in Iraq intensified. The images record both ordinary moments of American civil life as well as glimpses of underlying social and political unease. 

Almost twenty years on from the Iraq War and amidst another destructive war, Davey's photographs stand particularly pertinent: a quiet and oblique view of a nation and its self-image through its distinct symbols, cultural imagery and landscape, precisely observed with a roving, documentary eye.
