"June 7, Spy Mountain"
by Jane Szabo

is part of the artist's "Somewhere Else" Series which maps an emotional route of exploration and escape.

Evocative of the journey of life, of the visceral impact of that longing to be "somewhere else," each work examines where we dwell literally and spiritually. It is always about the journey, the search for that place we truly want to call home. The search is symbolic of a deeper, inner search; that sensation of running away from or running to a vast "other." Somewhere Else explores a yearning for home, or a sense of place, that one cannot return to, no longer exists, or maybe never was.

Using hand-made constructions, self-portraiture, and still life, she shares stories that explore her personal experiences through an astonishing lens of self-exploration and identity. Szabo's background creating props and miniatures for the entertainment industry infuses her creative process.

Widely exhibited in both solo and group shows, her work has been shown at the Museum of Art & History in Lancaster, California, where it is included in the permanent collection.

The museum acquired 71 images from this project for its collection.
