____________________________________________________________

In 1982 I began to photograph an eerie sight--what appeared 
to be suburbia abandoned. Only later did I come to find out 
that this was the beginnings of the Century Freeway, the 
"last freeway" to be built in Southern California.

My photographic odyssey continued much longer than I ever 
expected and led me in directions I never anticipated. In 
addition, court actions by home owners, the NAACP and the 
Sierra Club led to the institution of social programs for 
those upended by construction of the I-105. This had never
before accomplished in a highway project.

I've assembled a hypermedia version of this work which 
includes photographs, writings, and interactive maps. In 
addition, and of particular interest, is an online, 
web-based conferencing center called FEEDBACK I have 
developed to discuss issues surrounding public works 
projects such as this and artists' involvement with these 
issues.

I look forward to your arrival.
