The physical landscape of Southern California is composed of different qualities and elements navigating quickly between never-ending reconstruction to seemingly endless relaxation and leisure. California’s light is both obsessive and deceptive. Known for it’s iconic beauty and perfection, Southern California excels at maintaining a consistent facade year round. Southern California holds an aesthetic quality that is superficial and fake. Through the various niches and enviroments one becomes aware of the need to be identified as something or someone beautiful. I have curated objects and forms that are both iconic and archetypal. Objects are decontextualized to generate a discussion regarding the authenticity of Southern California. The cosmetic nature of these objects dances between what is both good and bad, real and fake, imaginative and ordinary.
