UCSD Open Studios: Deanna Erdmann

Deanna Erdmann

Dirtbike culture, faux finish and war memorials constitute just some of Deanna Erdmann's visual and cultural investigations. Her work touches on the both subtle and overt aspects of Americana while also creating a larger dialog with performance, the body and gender relations. Her most recent photographic and video work, "Ocotillo," documents the culture and perceptions of recreational vehicle use in the deserts near San Diego. For several months, Deanna has been developing relationships with this subculture during frequent trips to Ocotillo Wells. A graduate of UCI, Erdmann has exhibited throughout California in venues such as LACE, Sundown Salon, compact/space, Luis Velasquez and Queen Nail's annex in San Francisco.
