The industrial, western waterfront of Oakland, California is brought to life by Asha Carolyn Young in this book, which shares images and a story. From 1991 to 1995, Young lived in a work-live space overlooking the train tracks, Schnitzer Steel buildings, and the Port of Oakland shipyard. From her studio window, she studied this vast landscape and portrayed it in various mediums, including chalk pastel on paper, and oil on canvas and board. Young tells her story of how she came to live near the tracks after the devastating Oakland Hills Firestorm of 1991, describing the magnetic pull industrial terrains had held for her since childhood in Bangkok, Thailand. Through her account of life near the tracks, and through images and colors of her paintings and sketches, Young depicts this dynamic part of Oakland.
