Margaret Griffith is a Los Angeles-based artist who focuses on urban and residential landscape in her work. Her exhibitions include a 2012 solo installation at the Ruth Bachofner Gallery in Santa Monica, and a 2013 group exhibition at the Weingart Gallery at Occidental College. Of her recent work she writes, "I am looking at how a community visually defines itself by the boundaries it constructs through metaphorical relationships found within urbanism." This week's featured image is a detail from her work "Eddie" (graphite and pigmented ink on paper). Margaret Griffith gave LARB permission to use an image of her installation piece, "Coringa," to illustrate Lisa Locascio's essay on Roberto Bolano, "My Bolano Archive."
