Edition of 200 each $20 SOLD OUT
Los Angeles has a sorted environmental history as a strange apocalyptic theme park. It's plush, manicured landscape is a reminder of both a forced growth in an otherwise desert geography and as a monument to man's ingenuity made possible by diverting an unfathomable amount of water from distant sources. I am fascinated by the hybridized structures and blatant artifice of the city in both it's natural and man made environments. Hill top homes float precariously overhead on earth that has a topographical complexity of embedded catastrophe.
My recent drawings examine my love/hate relationship with the city of Los Angeles while also serving as an idea generator for large scale sculptures and installations.
