Los Angeles River Series 67
(2021)
On a trip to Frogtown in the spring of 2021 during the year of the second wave of Covid, I went to the river to gather materials to better depict this delightful community sandwiched between the Harbor Freeway to the west and the Los Angeles River to the east. Here people often meander along the banks of the river and into the riverbed where native Salix trees have grown to lean in the direction of annual winter hydrologic forces.
Los Angeles River 67 “Moon Bather” depicts a fictional character in a very real part of Los Angeles. Here a solitary moon bather basks in the reflected light of a full moon. Surreal light seen through the branches of a river willow reflect like diamonds on this quiet Frogtown river.
