Ed Templeton – wires crossed

Part memoir, part document of the DIY, punk-infused subculture of skateboarding as it came of age in the 1990s and early 2000s, Ed Templeton’s ‘Wires Crossed’ pulses with the raw, combustive energy of Templeton’s image-making from the last twenty-plus years. Illustrated by photographs, collages, texts, maps, and other ephemera from Templeton’s journals, ‘Wires Crossed’ offers an insider’s look at a subculture in the making and reflects the unique aesthetic stamp that sprang from the skate world he helped create.
