Artist Statement
This body of work is a reconfigured narrative which began from a symbology derived from the spatial narrative of a real geographic space: a juvenile hall and the golf course that surrounds it in Los Angeles. This restructuring is a speculative fiction. In these pieces, the symbols and characters become unfixed from their overdetermined origins as new meanings develop from their interrelationship; seeking the liberatory potential of shifting positions, possibilities and unresolved questions.
