Immersed in a layered urban paradigm of reality versus fantasy, Patrick
Haemmerlein creates a visual soundtrack as a backdrop to his stark
silhouettes, choreographing torn pages of poetry and bars
of music from the 1800’s and early 1900’s. Splashes of water color’s
punctuate the delicate balance between urban sprawl and rural wildlife
in Los Angeles.
Haemmerlein begins his journey by taking countless photos of
his environment exploring both urban and rural perspectives.   He then
manipulates the photographs, layering the images on wood until he is able to recreate
the feeling of that moment and place. Using Los Angeles as his creative
playground, his recycled articles often include sheet music, books he
has
found and paint.  The result is a timeless tangible sonnet to the city
he loves, and his thirst to rediscover it endlessly.
