| In both his sculptural and photographic works,
Alex Slade explores notions of mapping and topography. His series
of photographs depicting vacant lots, most of them located in or
around Los Angeles, investigate the idiosyncratic nature of the
city's built environment, a landscape in which transitory spaces
are juxtaposed with pockets of unchecked natural growth.
