"...Whether approached as a real site or an imaginary ideal, the topic of Eden opens up a wealth of possibilities for artists to follow in their work. Lisa Bloomfield, Jane Brucker, Paula Goldman, Katherine Huffaker Jones, and Bob Jones, all mid-career California artists, approach the ideas of Eden as both corporeal and spiritual, real and imagined. These artists understand that Eden always implies a mythic utopian paradise as well as its tragic loss... We search for Eden at the same time we mourn its loss.”
– Damon Willick, from the Introduction “Considering Eden”
Also included are writings of four Los Angeles writers whose work engages ideas of nature and fragility; Katharine Haake, Rod Val Moore, Dorothy Barresi, and Karen Kevorkian. < Less

The visuals are loosely based on the Thomas Bros. Guide - a map book consisting of every street in Los Angeles and the Bible for Los Angeles drivers (until gps). Digitally altered map fragments coupled with Krusoe’s eccentric language propel this narrative — a pursuit for location.
