Acrylic paint and resin on vintage postcard
(4 x 6in)

The quotation “they build here now” is taken from the postcard’s original sender as they describe the sprawling development of bungalow houses across the city of Los Angeles during the early half of the 20th century.

Such phrases echo a long history of industrial boosterism within the city and draws parallels to the heightened state of displacement across many urban communities today due to gentrification.
