John William Codling is a New York–based artist whose practice explores identity and the evolving idea of the American Dream through iconic American imagery. For Codling, America is not simply a place, but a set of ideals shaped by imagination, perseverance, and possibility. Created in the colors of the American flag, SAVING GRACE presents actress Grace Kelly as an enduring symbol of elegance and discipline, one of the cultural figures through whom American ideals continue to be imagined.
