"Macro Encinitas" is an artwork that explores how people experience and understand the look and feel of Southern California's coast. It does this by playing with size and physical materials in interesting ways. The piece uses very bright colors to show the relationship between natural and human-made environments, challenging the idea that "nature" and "human culture" are completely separate things. It uses geometric shapes and patterns to make its point.

The artwork follows some ideas from minimalist art (but with a modern twist) and tries to get viewers actively involved in thinking about how we see and understand coastal environments. By being created for a specific location, it makes us think about time and change, and questions common ways that landscapes are shown in art during our current era of human impact on the environment.
