"Protect, Preserve, and Remember" by Laura Green

Sponsored by the Arts and Culture Commission

"Protect, Preserve, and Remember" showcases Green’s experiences exploring the Southern California region with her family.

Protect, Preserve, and Remember showcases Green’s experiences exploring the Southern California region with her family. The inspiration for the installation was imagining the Los Angeles river’s journey from mountains to sea. Each side of the cube showcases a different biome that the LA river travels through, such as mountains, woodlands, chaparral and the coast. The human figures, often children, appear to be on a similar journey. Native flora and fauna are represented on a larger scale to draw attention to their need for protection and preservation.

Green’s intention with this installation is to inspire viewers to learn more about the wildlife that surrounds them in Glendale, and to consider supporting programs that are working to protect it for future generations. Her artistic practice explores her desire to protect, preserve, and remember the time we are currently living in. 

This temporary art installation is generously sponsored by the Glendale Arts and Culture Commission through funding from the Urban Art Program, with support from Glendale Library, Arts & Culture, Glendale Community Services and Parks, and the Adams Hill Neighborhood Association.
