Discover additional resources and ways to help support the artists, art workers, and creatives who have lost their homes, studios, and jobs in the Los Angeles Wildfires.

On Friday, January 24, at 10:30 AM PST, join us for an emotional and powerful HSC&A / IG Live with artist Camilla Taylor, who is mourning “over 20 years of artmaking” that was lost in her West Altadena home studio.

We are humbled for this opportunity to virtually visit one of the thousands of properties lost to the Los Angeles wildfires and to give those of you outside of Los Angeles a sense of the new reality many artists are now facing in our city.

Providing resources and donation opportunities for artists, art workers, and creatives who have been impacted by the LA wildfires.

As 2024 draws to a close, we want to extend our gratitude to everyone who collaborated with HSC&A this year.

Using pieces of found wood, native to the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, Johanna Van Parijs creates geometric sculptures that resemble portals in both design and scale. Labyrinth, seen above, at over 8 feet tall, employs rough hewn strips of wood, some of which are burned to a dramatic deep black and others that maintain a desaturated, natural hue, all with visible wood grain patterns. The symbolism of the labyrinth has played an important role in Van Parijs’ work since she began exploring the possibilities of wood over five years ago. To the artist, this mysterious and ancient symbol embodies fear and hope, the primary emotions she felt as she stepped into her new life as a single mother in Costa Rica and took a leap of faith in her art practice.

Gina Zycher: I Forgot Where I Was Going With This - is a meditation on the artist’s relationship to anxiety through the medium of ceramic and surface design. Tally marks, Twombly-esque scribbles, dainty florals and x’s and o’s, are applied to the surface of handbuilt and wheel-thrown stoneware vessels using both porcelain inlay and hand painting with deep indigo glaze on white. These motifs and the titles of her work, including: I Can’t Wait to Leave, Cool Girl, Anxiety Sampler, and I Actually Like It, refer to life-experiences associated with being overwhelmed, and prone to overthinking and worry. While the work of creating her ceramics often acts as the antidote to such states of mind, the constant unpredictability of the medium presents its own complications and frustrations.

Artist Jerry McMillan created his first photo etching (above) in 1972 on the porch of his studio on Western Ave, upstairs from Ed Ruscha. At that time, he was the only artist known to be working in this media, and his objective was always to expand the possibilities of what photography could be. It was exhibited in 1972 at the Orlando Gallery, Los Angeles, along with work by Darryl Curran and Robert Heinecken.

Join me this Sunday, July 14 as I moderate a conversation about the art business with three of my esteemed colleagues.
