SSN 9 carvings

Exploring the idea, ‘the making of California, fabricated towns and cultural communities’ I travel around Los Angeles photographing urban communities. After photographing the images I reconfigure them digitally, redrawing, erasing and merging the images. These digital images are transformed in Tijuana into 14” x 52” x 3”. wood carvings, that are painted by a white, Australia,n American woman. Border crossings, conversations and travel is documented using video and sound,as the paintings become a metaphor about the making of Southern California. A represnetation of the borderland we live in
