Examining sites between desert and sea, Beth Davila Waldman presents the landscape in relation to home, shelter and sanctuary in Place/Displace at Keystone Gallery in Los Angeles. Aiming to define a global language through material, abrasion and paint, Waldman’s horizons carry anthropomorphic implications. Nodding to maps, surveillance and archeology, she dissects places within a photographic context using the process of the printmaking pull within intentional challenging conditions to speak of survival. Place/Displace speaks to an ecological and social urgency and presents a dynamic, multidisciplinary suite of works offering a moving reflection on the interwoven histories of humanity and nature. Waldman’s practice bridges research, conceptual explorations, and material history in continually evolving projects. Join us for the reception Saturday, January 31st 5-9pm.
