Youth Exhibition | Self Titled /
Self-Titled
This collaborative exhibition is a collection of work created by teens participating in arts education programs across San Diego County. Highlighted here are graphic novels, text, photography, video work, and drawings born out of Words Alive’s Adolescent Book Group; AjA Project’s Collective Voices; San Diego Art Institute’s Expressive Arts Program; and a curated selection of work from North County teens. These are artifacts of becoming; still frames of durational processes in which selfhood is formed in, through, and against influence which seeks to delimit, ultimately expanding preordained parameters through the exercise of personal agency via artistic expression. Self-Titled was exhibited at SDAI in June, and will be on view at Linksoul in Oceanside from August 27- September 5, hosted by The Hill Street Country Club - a contemporary art nonprofit based in Oceanside.
Opening Reception | Saturday, August 27 | 6:00-8:00PM @ Linksoul
530 S Coast Highway, Oceanside CA

This exhibition consists of three distinct types of work. The first group is carved wood sculptures, some of which are abstract and others depict human or animal like forms. The second consists of sculptural abstractions which are light and airy; they appear to defy gravity as they hang within and upon the architecture of the gallery. The third group is low relief linear abstractions inspired by architectural principles and forms.
These works were produced over the past several years; the most recent pieces are tar covered white plastic sculptures. The variety of works exhibit a continual exploration of new visual forms and the expressive potential of materials.
