This event has ended.

Fran Siegel's latest series of monumental drawings cull visual references from the sprawling urban topography surrounding the artist's Los Angeles studio-an idiosyncratic unplanned layout, where architecture collides with natural land contours. Through an intricate process of accumulative layering, drawing and stitching, Siegel pieces together multiple aerial viewpoints that explore shifts in light, perspective and atmosphere, while implying continuing motion outside of the frame. This instability proves a stark contrast to the contemplative otherness found in the fixed position of traditional nineteenth century landscape representation, and results in a rich, complex, oscillating expression of displacement that reflects our contemporary nomadic relationship to place.
