THE RISE AND FALL OF THE INLAND EMPIRE

Fiona Jack, drawings, Two Rooms Gallery, Auckland, 2007

L0000026

 

This series of drawings is based on the promotional drawings for tract housing developments in the Inland Empire (east of Los Angeles) built by controversial developers KB Home. Each drawing is titled according to the name of the new housing development, and are made up of overlaid front elevations of all the house plans available for that subdivision. KB stands for Kauffman Broad. Edith and Eli Broad are important art patrons in California.
