Label TextFrom our shore to Asia – an expanse of deep blue Pacific Ocean, broken only by the blur of the Channel Islands. From our shore to a shore of torrey pine, mountain mahogany, Tongva village sites and Catalina island fox. From that shore to the shores of China and Japan – a continuum bound by the Pacific Rim. Whether photographing Californian surfers, high school football players, a presidential inauguration, queer bodies, or Yosemite’s Bridalveil Fall, Catherine Opie tweaks our expectations of what it means to belong to this diverse and teeming world. Are we divided by oceans, or tied together through exploration, trade, and the seafaring adventures of our ancestors? Status
