Cali Thornhill Dewitt presented solo exhibition SAFE WORDS at Los Angeles’ Karma International, which opened December 6 and is running to January 20.
Thornhill DeWitt is an artist, director, designer and blogger, as well as running record label Teenage Teardrops. For his solo show at the LA space, dystopian and eager messages sit quietly in the space like despair, aware of their own powerlessness.
Text-based works are plastered over the walls, with a massive red sign reading ‘Expect The Worse.’ On the wall opposite are words that sound and look like headlines, reading ‘Hungry – Ghost,’ ‘Wildest Dreams’ and ‘Totally Destroy’ superimposed on top of images of flames.**
