This is the official print version of Eric Dyer's 2013 MFA Thesis at California College of the Arts (CCA). The print version is intended to be viewed as an art book.In my work there are physical obstructions, as the viewer is unable to see all sides of an installation or sculpture at once. In this thesis, I discuss how these physical obstructions play a role in my paintings and installations, which primarily consist of urban and suburban found material. I will also consider the theoretical discussion of obstructions to perception that I find relevant in contemporary art discourse. I use objects that are familiar to Americans, dealing with issues surrounding authority, interpretation, the implication of those object's use in art, and our sources of information.

Located halfway between Jacksonville and Key West is a bedroom beach community known as Hobe Sound. With a population of about 14,000, this old-Florida beach town is considered a gem of the Treasure Coast of Florida. Hobe Sound is known for its pristine beaches and unspoiled landscape along both the Indian River Lagoon and the Loxahatchee River as well as among the coastal sand hills and scrub forests to the west. Among the large homes associated with notable and newsworthy owners on Jupiter Island and the more modest and historic homes located in Old Hobe Sound lie Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Blowing Rocks Preserve, and Nathanial P. Reed National Wildlife Refuge. Hobe Sound has held many identities throughout the years, including Olympia and Picture City, its most famous moniker. This illustrative history offers a glimpse into the evolution of Hobe Sound during the 20th and 21st centuries. Author Jennifer Gilliland, a local resident and historic preservationist, has taken her love of history and Hobe Sound to compile a tribute through photographs and documents in the hopes that residents and visitors alike will enjoy and appreciate what makes Hobe Sound so unique and special.
