Dustin Harewood brings to canvas colliding worlds, where east meets west, both above and below sea level. His works mesh the importance of our climate and the heavy hand that media has, using the imagined to discuss our human footprint. Heavily influenced by the submerged landscapes, Harewood has used his memories to create a vibrant and…
How did you realize or notice that you were an artist? Much of my work is performative, through writing and composition of texts, plays, and songs. I was crafting these at a young age.

They’ve got her date of birth and everything. I’d like to believe it slipped…
“99% Invisible is about all the thought that goes into the things we don’t think about — the unnoticed architecture and design that shape our world.” Most of my inspiration comes from places other than just art. I am usually driven to new ideas by learning about history, science, and technology. The feeling of discovering…
I visited Human Condition the week of Halloween at the abandoned Los Angeles Metropolitan Medical Center. With three floors and over 8o artists, I decided to start at the top, with curation. I reached out to John Wolf, the Los Angeles based art advisor and mastermind behind this large exhibition. How did Human Condition come together? What was…
