QUALITY COINS PRESENTS:
LAND LINE
Opens March. 13th 12-3pm
March 13th 2022 - April 10th 2022
7303 Apache Trail, Yucca Valley CA 92284
YUCCA VALLEY, CA — Join us for the opening of Land Line, an exhibition of artists cohabitating, communing,
composting, and making art in their shared high desert homes. The comfort and angst of a bygone
suburban domesticity leaches into the sculpture, painting, and collage of Elena Yu, Jim Kanter, Syd Abady,
Abbey Lee Sarver, Harley Hollenstein, and Connor Thomas Schwab.
From the “For Sale” signs and eviction notices woven into the old screen doors of Syd Abady to the Fly Fishing
Flies criss crossing a pair of brown waders from Elena Yu the exhibition trawls the underwater mortgage.
With the sand painted circuits and soldiers from Jim Kanter to the walnut box compositions constructed by
Connor Thomas Schwab the breakers are tripping. In the deserted tide pool collages of Abbey Sarver and the
tiled earthen containers of Harley Hollenstein the debts of our domestic existence have been collected.
Under one roof Land Line illuminates the vision of six artists sharing the shifting landscape of their desert
community. Come enjoy donuts and coffee at our opening on March 13th from 12-3pm.
Quality Coins is otherwise open by appointment through the office of Ry Rocklen who can be reached at:

A laser cutting machine in my home studio. A dream came true after many years of wishing & working. Big thanks to everyone who helped me pay for it by purchasing work this spring, specifically Mark Price. Even bigger thanks to Reed Humphrey for helping me get everything set up!
