Eleven years in the making and compiling more than thirty years worth of material: Ed Templeton’s Deformer, a multi-media scrapbook of his upbringing in suburban Orange County, California. Its photographs give a sun-drenched glimpse of what it might be like to be young and alive in what Templeton refers to as “the suburban domestic incubator”. Deformer intertwines photographs, paintings, drawings, sketchbook pages, disciplinary letters from his grandfather and religious notes from his mother into a magnificent narrative of teenage isolation and social criticism. Many of the photographs have come about due to his life as a professional skateboarder.
