I've seen a lot of L.A. and I think it's also a place of secrets: secret houses, secret lives, secret pleasures. And no one is looking to the outside for verification that what they're doing is all right.” — “LA Story,” written by Steve Martin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1592702823617-KOTZIT2S8816GYF5CMY7/N.jpg Series Platinum/Palladium and Cyanotype on Japanese Kozo Paper. 11x17 (image size) NEXT TEXT.

Platinum Palladium/Cyanotype In this series, I explore my own past and future, myths and stories given to me by two very distinct cultures, Mexican and Italian. Stories of the ocean and moon. The moon dictates our moods, our fate, and its effect on the ocean and what lurks below. The Moon can be an omen for good or bad, depending if there is a cloud around it or what phase it is in. This first panel of Voyager 1 refers to the practice of sinking retired out of commission fishing boats near Catalina Island. They act as a reef to repopulate marine life. A way to give back to the ocean of what the tuna boat fisherman took during Los Angeles’s tuna era. I am a granddaughter of a tuna boat fisherman, actually of generations of fisherman. My grandma told of a story that when it came time to sink my grandfather’s boat they pushed the family old piano aboard to share the watery grave. I have been influenced by Mexican Muralism. In that tradition, there is a meaning above and below the horizon line. Below can speak of the past, of ancestors. Seeds and bones. Here, the ocean acts as that division. In the ocean we have faint ideas of what is swimming below us that we cannot see but know is there. Like dreams and the subconscious. http://www.gomezworks.com/about daily 0.75 2021-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/a62602d4-1529-410e-8d3d-21af90072c72/IMG_5201.jpeg About - Elena Gomez I was born in Los Angeles and grew up as an artist in New Mexico. I studied at the University of New Mexico, under Adrienne Salinger, Elena Baca, Thomas Barrow, and Jim Stone. I learned non-silver techniques and was instantly hooked. I like the way it abstracts an image, taking away detail and obscuring the realism of a photographic record. Negatives are transformed into monochromatic high-contrast images. They can be continually manipulated with multiple passes. This level of experimentation and unexpected results excites me as an image maker. Moving back home to Los Angeles in 2009 was a good move for me. I needed the vibrance of a city — this city especially https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1383344410523-KRZ6THK3KSM6W4Q5BY1G/nmsign.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1383344403152-FJ90762JTLZ3E8LXOFTE/09170033.JPG About http://www.gomezworks.com/process daily 0.75 2020-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1383782699928-60SCLOF3BNE6SW028QDP/platinumstroke.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1383782740512-6NQ2EWAW5LOMAL9R3A7E/brushstroke.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1383782727938-Q57NRFWWC8YEJRQIMUM6/vd.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1383782749013-VYHH3QO5GVI1DOLX8HXA/pplusc.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1590859062143-N7FXCDG8Z5KD581FQG30/platinum.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1590859069458-A3SVS7604X8CHDCMNKAD/timer.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1590859062177-C3L166N83Y4HVG86KEAR/neg.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1590859055566-59UMGY8Q4D44V6JI8SSE/exposing.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1590859055527-XI87PRNU6QS0E3PND644/exposing2.jpg Process https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/1590859069415-QYNJS58E2KQT9IBL8SNF/trays.jpg Process http://www.gomezworks.com/installations daily 0.75 2022-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/522501fbe4b041e1c9e21a41/26fce88d-fcdf-4873-a997-550f0b3f0334/Screen+Shot+2022-10-04+at+11.41.02+AM.png Installations -
