Where Antelope and Bighorn Sheep once roamed, barbed wire fences and high speed roads now impede the seasonal migration from the peaks to the valley. With the LADWP legacy encompassing 492 […]

The purpose of these clay models is to understand movement across a terrain through deploying various patterns.  Doing so helps us understand a common language between wind and vehicular movement.  […]

In this experimental phase of the project, we had to choreograph the behavior of wind using different utensils.  This is done by listening to live recordings of sound at a […]

Our senses are some of the best set of tools any mammal could ever ask for. Our hearing is one of the most important senses because is the one tool […]

As the water in southern California continues to be more scarce, we have to continue to look at different ways to conserve water and import less from up north. But […]

The best way I can describe the feeling of Owens Valley is its pervading dialectic of hostility and serenity. Having the chance to feel the air, the sand, and the […]

Whenever any one thinks about wind in southern California, we do not really care about it unless its the dangerous santa Ana’s. This is why when the opportunity to create […]

The low population density of the Owens Valley presents a unique opportunity for assisting in the dispersal of wildlife populations between areas of protected or suitable habitat. Long distance dispersal, […]

Part of the understanding of Owens Lake was to try and mimic topographic patterns and strategies that can be applied on the lakebed onto our own clay models. I found […]

After long time research and analysis on the Owens Valley current condition, and base on the wolf prefer habitat. There no reason to introduce the wolf to Owens valley, as […]

  In order to explore the options of different hybridizations of dust mitigation methods, the studio experimented on a popular malleable medium, clay. By molding and marking the clay, this […]

Visiting the Owens Lake enabled us to experience first-hand the despondent conditions of the area as a result of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s (LADWP) neglectfulness. Regardless of […]

This research phase gave a strong foundation in my shallow pool of knowledge of the Owens Lake. Although already familiar with the Pacific Flyway due to numerous Los Angeles River […]

It is a challenging process to delve into the concept of translating the sound of wind and other ambient noises into a drawing that reveals the physicality of sound. My […]
