The Par King

The ParKing series pokes at the car-centric landscape of LA, playfully personifying the LADOT meters packed in across the city that occupy pedestrian sidewalk space. The ParKing is both spirited and sinister, surreal but hyperreal. The ParKing reminds the audience of the meters and pay stations that dominate this overpopulated cityscape, and take priority over the folks that inhabit it. Despite the grim picture of it all, the ParKing series contains the Angeleno spirit of creation: erecting art from struggle. The series uses multimedia material including recycled cue cards, cardboard stripes, colored pencils, and loose change.
