Back on the Beach today for Breakfast and Art

The Annenberg Beach House has a small gallery with new works each month.  Today I observed the works of photographer and artist Rebeca Mendez.  She explores how cultures express themselves through the style of nature that they produce.  Her interest is in the nature of matter - in cycles and systems...cross-rhythmic tensions that make natural phenomena emerge.  She grew up in Mexico City and the Mexican jungle where she followed her father in the persuit of Mayan archaeology.  Mendez now lives in Los Angeles but has traveled to Iceland to photograph amazing nature.  Here are photos of some of her work:
