Tomaselli grew up in southern California, feeling the influence of nearby theme parks with their manufactured reality as well as the music and drug counterculture of Los Angeles in the 1970s and 1980s. His work evokes both the intensely attractive side of escapism and a darker sense of potentially becoming lost. Tomaselli's visit to CCAD coincides with the presentation of his exhibition New York Times, in Room, CCAD's project space in the main gallery.
