"We're living through a profound transformation in our relationship to images. Images, sensing systems, algorithms and the infrastructures around them have become active participants in the world-shaping decisions, identities, cultures and histories."

Didion describes San Bernadino County as 'the country of the teased hair and the Capris and the girls for whom all life's promise comes down to a waltz-length white wedding dress and the birth of a Kimberly or a Sherry or a Debbi and a Tijuana divorce and a return to hairdressers' school.'

The ostraca show us an astonishing variety of everyday situations. We find tax lists, deliveries, short notes about everyday activities, religious texts, and priestly certificates attesting the quality of sacrificial animals.

"Art became his antidote to pressure and frustration. An item like this brings us closer to those quiet creative moments away from the world."
