  • The metal comes from junkyards throughout Southern California, said Kalish, who has a studio in Culver City.

    “I couldn’t help, going into the junkyards, but thinking about why they’re there and how lives passed in and out of these cars,” he said. “And as much as I wanted to take something rusted and old and turn it into something beautiful and organic, there was a very visceral sense of loss.”
