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.
