Granted by the cultural department of Appenzell Ausserrhoden I was able to spend two months on a „Artist in Residence“ program in Los Angeles.
The project originated and is inspired by long walks through a car obsessed Los Angeles and all its stereotypes. The light, sunsets, sky, fame, trash, alterna
tive lifestyle, healers, spirituality, palm trees, big cars, 420, wealth, homelessness, American dreams and everyday objects in a huge city that we forget about and nobody pays attention to.
Another inspiration was the 80's punk movement in LA, which is well documented by the magazines „Slash“ and „NoMag“, and the movie „Decline of Western civilazation“. As well the paintings and illustrations of LA artist Kenneth Price.
