“Extended Views”
Over the last eight years I have been a habitual visitor and participant observer of Frank Bonelli Regional Park located north-east of the 57 and 10 freeway intersections in Southern California. The two “extended views” of a Willow are part of my ongoing documentation of a selected site over time. The “extended view” allows for the tracing of shifts in appearance and representation of the same subject matter while questioning media related phenomena. Inadvertently, contextual processes such as the tending of place, shifting climate conditions and cultural changes become visible. -
