I grew up in East Hollywood. East Hollywood, with its culture, people and spaces, appeared fixed and timeless in my young mind. As time passed, I realized the borders that served to separate East Hollywood from others were semipermeable: they allowed me to ride the bus past its borders to experience new traditions and beliefs.
In Blueprint, East Hollywood is abstracted to geometric shapes. Bus routes in East Hollywood are outlined in black, tracing each shape. The color that represent any single shape extends over its boundaries, bleeding into neighboring shapes.
