Joat / Mt Baldy risograph prints of my now extinct land camera peel away Polaroids. Available this weekend at the LA Art Book Fair with my friends @heavymannerslibrary About Baldy & my connection ——- I grew up at the base of Mt baldy. At 10,066 ft, it’s the highest peak in the San Gabriel mountain range in Southern California. Artistic Research as I like to state it is a geographical-visual-poetic-life enhancing exploration. This artwork is connected to my fascination to the spirit of Mount Baldy. It is also unseated Tongva territory, whom named the peak ‘Joat’. The name ‘Mt Baldy’ came from early miners who used powerful water blasting on the mountain canyons for 30 years searching for gold, destroying animal habitat, polluting the water and disfiguring the natural beauty. Both names refer to the peak which is a tree barren, rock landscape that appears from flatland to be bald or snow peaked. The area is a very spiritual, childhood place to me. In elementary school my special ed teacher would drive me up when I would fall into silent spells, and mind blocks or ‘brick walls’ I would call it, we would hold rocks and put our hand into the sky praying for world peace. For years I would return to tap into my curious self, revisiting to re-imagine world peace and inner peace, dissembling the brick wall in my mind. Using various film photographic techniques, painting, observational notes and drawing to capture the ontological experience in the mountain range. This zine is a new edition about my experiences on baldy. Thanks for reading:))

Lowercase a, for ℓσνє ℓєттєяѕ opens tonight @bigdoorgallery and a second opening Feb 21 @ape_sf 💗 lowercase ‘a’ is a flower. lowercase a never shouts. lowercase a takes care of itself, a shroud of mystery, seeds of doubt. lowercase a is an open hand, an open mind, a free land. takes a long while to develop its meaning, so we do wait in the dark. lowercase a is a soft power ~ a kind heart, compassion, recognition, patience, understanding. keep lowercase a in your pocket, when you need it remember ~ only you can unlock it. -Zabby Franks Ceramic, watercolor, encaustic on wood 8”x8”
