Someone forgot to tell Southern California that it’s winter.

Went to the desert.


Went to the mountains.

It was a little colder up there.

But we could see forever.

LAX Part 2, so nice, I’m hanging up stuff twice.
Turns out I get to another project at LAX (the airport).
If you are flying out of LAX on Southwest Airlines, you can check out some of my original drawings in the departures (upper) level from now until March.

They’re located behind the security checkpoint, so you’ll need to have a ticket to see them.

It’s always hard to describe where things are in the complicated maze of hallways, checkpoints and gates at the airport.
But they’ll be in a hallway near the Starbucks, if that helps.
If you have time to kill, you can think of it as a treasure hunt.

It will give you something to do.
You’re welcome.
You know what’s fun? Putting Fresno into Google and zooming around the satellite views of all the fields. So many different greens.

But when you zoom in close, everything turns brown.

Reminds me of that quote from East of Eden (the book, duh).
“And it never failed that during the dry years the people forgot about the rich years, and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way.”
Looks like Google fixed that problem too. Not much they can’t do.
“We were just crazy kids” they say without regret, and look to the future. The future always looks good in the golden land, because no one remembers the past. Here is where the hot wind blows and the old ways do not seem relevant.
Here is the last stop for all those who come from somewhere else, for all those who drifted away from the cold and the past and the old ways. Here is where they are trying to find a new life style, trying to find it in the only places they know to look: the movies and the newspapers.
From the essay, Some Dreamers of the Golden Dream by Joan Didion in the collection Slouching Towards Bethlehem.
I am pleased to present my first public art piece: The Dream Decor of Oblivion
It’s a large scale digital mural created from three 4 x6 foot, colored pencil drawings I made of aerial views of the Los Angeles skyline.
Located at Los Angeles International Airport, Terminal 1 (Southwest Airlines) in the baggage claim area, the piece consists of two 30 foot long, 10 foot high panels that will be exhibited through Mid October.
You can see more of my work at www.susanlogo.com.
show extended until May 14th

If you’re in Los Angeles and you haven’t gotten a chance to see my exhibit of drawings at Cirrus Gallery, you now have until May 14th. The gallery is located at 542 S. Alameda St, L.A 90013.
