“Fault Line” uses words and phrases cut out from magazines and newspapers to highlight the interplay between form and message. It explores the car culture in California, emphasizing how the modern state was built around the car. The red jagged line not only represents the geological fault lines on which California sits but also points to our state’s other divisions or fault lines: north and south, urban and rural, documented and undocumented workers, etc.
