Studio Visit with Ursula Brookbank

Last week Carolyn and I visited the West LA studio of Ursula Brookbank.

We dropped by to preview an interactive diorama project she is working
on for the Garden Party exhibition. We also got to explore her mysterious collection
of "She World" ephemera that inspires her installation and photo-based practice. 

Garden Party is a curatorial project I am working on with 

painter Carolyn Castaño. 20+ artists have participated 

in a series of events exploring the green spaces of LA.

The project will culminate with an exhibition at

FOCA opening on Saturday, September 21.

 

Garden Party #5

Our 5th and final Garden Party outing was held at 

Ocean View Farms. With over 6 acres and 500 individual gardens

it is the largest Community Garden in LA.

Thanks to the Garden Master for welcoming us to OVF!

I was really impressed by the range of food and flowers

being grown and by their huge composting system.
