I have two record photographs in the Summer Guest Show at Acuna-Hansen Gallery in Chinatown. The show runs from June 28-July 26.
























My photographs of select album covers act as an archive of historic, aesthetic disruptions in the landscape of conservative culture and military-industrial complex in Southern California. By using specific records, I am appropriating words and images in order to create a reflexive language of protest. These photographs form a typology of adoration, nostalgia, aesthetics, and word-play poesies. Originating during a very abstract time of war in the early to mid 80s, these records evoke memories of an era not too dissimilar to the current war in Iraq.



My photograph of Whites Point in San Pedro is also featured in a photo exhibition at The Muckenthaler Cultural Center, which runs from July 13-Sept. 28.
