ARTIST SERIES: KIM ABELES

Kim Abeles is an artist in Los Angeles. Her work is intriguing and inventive as it riffs on some of the issues of our times. My favorite series involves smog--she "collects" it on her balcony in certain charged shapes. And a recent piece she did at a local high school is of a 30 foot tall paper person made of paper discarded in its dumpster.

Feel free to read the profile I wrote of her for Your Daily Thread a couple of months ago: Kim Abeles: Artist and Smog Collector.
