What We Are Made Of

Ink on white glass. 6” x 10”. 2019.

Los Angeles is like a large rotating visual library, always changing while staying the same. Its filled with aesthetic and unaesthetic richness from commercial popularized graphics to the wonderful hand painted store signs in South LA. Los Angeles often times feels like a vast urban wilderness to be discovered one expedition at a time, although I wonder if there is really anything left to be discovered? In an age where just around the corner on a solo hike one could walk into someone else’s Instagram shoot.
