About the Book

A collaborative work by David Hawkes, LG Williams, and Alan Rubin.

The Estate of LG Williams is proud to present this publication for LG Williams's recent body of work -- the SoCal Mid-Rise Multi-Story series. In these pictures, Williams merges Thiebaud's now canonical compositions of Sacramento Valley landscapes, San Francisco cityscapes, and assorted pastries. But this is where familiarity and transparency ends. As the viewer looks into the illuminated windows, the mysteries compound and multiply-forms transform into reflections, reflections into abstract thought. They are made expressly for our age-the age of the image.

The text, entitled Bullchild, tells of a Mexican illegal immigrant who, inspired by an aging East German Communist Art History Professor, attempts to make his name on the L.A. gallery scene by pretending to be Persian, dressing up as a matador and inventing a movement called "Pedo-Taurinism." Based on a true story.

After a spell teaching at Lehigh University, he accepted a position in the English Department at Arizona State University.
