In the early 1980s, the Los Angeles / Taos artist Gary Lloyd used similar symbolism in sculptural and painted representations of a fireman’s ax, but left the question of its function open-ended. Is it an object of destruction or of utility? Put another way, Reyes and Lloyd profess nurturing and healing, over punishing and hurting. This duality is at the core of competing approaches to our justice system and the political climate in general. Call it the 'war between the sexes' if you will, but this unresolved battle is one of the most urgent being waged today. In my view we need and are ready for a female president who will nurture the nation by limiting its guns and rebuilding our infrastructure.

In the late 1970's an ax-like sculpture by Gary Lloyd was installed on the face of the building.
The Tomahawk Building, built in 1914, is located in the Fashion District and is an exclusive 8 unit building. Each unit has its own floor and private direct elevator access. Constructed in 1914, the Tomahawk Building was one of the first modern buildings to be built in Flatiron Park (the intersection of Spring, Main, and Ninth Streets). It's construction ushered in a building boom in the surrounding area that lasted through the 1920s and made Flatiron Park largely what it is today. The construction of the Tomahawk Building along with Flatiron Park extended the Financial Core of Pre-World War II Los Angeles southward along Spring Street. For decades, the Tomahawk Building housed the offices of numerous financial institutions.

'They: An Answer Driving the Problem, Revisited' dissects the issues of climate change, man’s impact on the planet, and the interplay between time, technology and the transformation of the world, for better or worse.
'I wanted to utilize technology and streaming media to foster an exchange of ideas and perceptions about climate change with a live audience and the world outside the gallery,' Lloyd said. 'Emerging miniaturization technology, the Internet, cell phones, social media, the 3D printer, robots and genomic discoveries will transform the world. I hope to create continued awareness regarding climate change forces by providing elegant models of the choices humankind already has on hand.'
