Author: Molzan, DiannaIn The Tahoma Mall, Los Angeles–based artist Dianna Molzan (born 1972) traces her early years growing up in the Pacific Northwest’s Tacoma and Seattle, telling the origin and development of her visual vocabulary with extensive archival imagery and a floating narration that runs through this beautifully produced artist’s book.Molzan shows how navigating public spaces at a young age, from shopping malls, movie theaters, world fairs, military bases and outdoor displays of Indigenous pole carvings and modernist fountains, influenced her approach to art and exhibition. The region’s disparate cultural layers are juxtaposed with its majestic natural splendor and Molzan’s own artwork, which together form a rich personal account of the artist’s earliest visual education.ISBN 9781954939028.
