L.A. Artist Photographs Site of Natalie Wood's Death

The reopening of the 1981 drowning death case of actress Natalie Wood, which is still deemed accidental, has yet to name her husband, Robert Wagner, as a suspect but has prompted actor Christopher Walken, who accompanied the couple during their Catalina getaway, to hire a lawyer. An L.A. artist includes a photograph of the site of Wood's death in her series, "Transgressing the Pacific, LA-Like."

Zoe Crosher, now based in New York, captured seven spots along the Pacific shore where people have vanished into its waters. While Wood's body did not completely disappear, she did vanish around 4am from Wagner's yacht where the trio had spent the day drinking. Her body was found hours later on the morning of November 29, 1981.

Attempting to view the Pacific "through the ones who have transgressed it," writes Huffington Post, Crosher says, "The Pacific is this idea of Manifest Destiny. But what happens when you hit that border, when you get to the edge of the Pacific?" Crosher, via her lens, finds the art in disappearance.

The artist camped out to photograph Isthmus Cove - the spot of Wood's disappearance then recovery - at early dawn. The chilling blue water varies in hue and resembles glass.
