About Artwork:
Blue Rowboat is part of a series that explores issues of water use and environmental concerns, especially to raise awareness of the plight of the Los Angeles river. In the summer of 2023, I had sailed my handmade skiff on a deep section of the river, north of Sepulveda Dam. The resulting images were taken from particular locations, further visualized into what could be possible where our wetlands protected, a reimagined alluvial landscape to nurture habitat and the lost indigenous wildlife.
