A painting based on my 2-year-old daughter’s version of writing ABCs, as a reminder that all human-made systems are invented and could be rewritten. This one also has frequent interruptions. 🖍️💫

Merge (2023) by Alex Olson will be in Carla's Ten Year Soiree & Art Auction, which goes live for bidding this Friday, May 30, 2025 at 12pm. ⁠
⁠
The art auction will include 102 L.A.-based artists—many of whom have been featured in Carla’s pages over the last decade. Each artist is contributing a small, accessibly-priced 5x7 inch work on paper (or a low-relief, wall-based medium); this small-scale format is inspired by blow-in cards found between the pages of print magazines.⁠
⁠
The auction closes at 8:45pm at the in-person event at The Pit on June 14, 2025. Follow the link in bio for tickets.⁠

Hello, it’s the last week to see my show “Spines” at Josh Lilley. The work is broadly about how we acquire knowledge, and more specifically about my daughter and her experiences of being new to this world, or how I perceive or imagine them to be, as well as mine with her.
