COLLATERAL DAMAGE 2022-24
A section of this series explores the current shape of California’s coastline with drawings on plexiglass that expose industry adulterating an otherwise bucolic landscape.
These drawings, done on discarded plexiglass with sharpie markers, are the result of a forensic study of past flood and fire zones, earthquake fault lines, global warming projections, and conspiracy theories. Mark-making from these maps intersect with imagery of local current, abandoned or reclaimed infrastructure.
Initially these works started simply as plein air studies, utilizing the scratched-up plexiglass as a view finder and sighting tool. As I worked, I started overlaying with the landscaped and industrial imagery. Over time this imagery has evolved, building layers of drawing on both the front and back of the plexiglass, building density and shadow into the final works.
