The Lodge gallery presents a selection of works by local artist Aubrey Longley-Cook. Canicular Days is a study in fastidious craftsmanship and layered, insouciant humour that explores the artist’s relationship with Southern California, his home and workplace for more than half a decade. The solo exhibition feels telepathic in its timing. Marrying digital prowess with traditional fiber art, the artist’s lovingly embroidered pieces were largely created in Longley-Cook’s elegant backyard studio (christened the ‘block’ in honor of famed minimalist Donald Judd). Here, a stone’s throw from the iconic Paramount Lot, where palm trees and architectural pastiche reign, one can’t help but ponder the myths and machinations of Tinseltown.
