Have a look at Chelsea&#8217;s artist statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;[My] work embodies systems that erode. I salvage history, suspending the architecture of Southern California in time with a process of carefully controlled chaos. By combining my photographs with experimental printmaking, drawing, and collage techniques, I elevate the conflict between order and entropy. My most recent body of work focuses around my fascination with abandoned Jackrabbit Homesteads in Wonder Valley where I continue to meditate upon the allure of beauty and decay. I gather and incorporate discarded elements from these spaces, assigning new meaning with the addition of gold elements and embellished patterns. I thoughtfully document and reconstruct these spaces by dimensionally layering information, offering the viewer a spatially rich experience that illuminates the original site.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Okay, I have to say it again&#8230; <em>ooooh!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ooooh!
