editSmog Collector is Ables most famous piece. The piece was first create in 1987 in which Ables became inspired in her studio which was located in Downtown Los Angeles. Downtown Los Angeles is most famous for the fog or smog that can tend to cover and Ables took that inspiration and created Smog Collector. Through this she created a series in which showcased the presidents from McKinley to Bush.
"We live in the contradiction that the dangers are out there, beyond, and that we are safe in our homes. Since the worst in our air can't be seen, Smog Collectors are both literal and metaphoric depictions of the current conditions of our life source. They are reminders of our industrial decisions: the road we took that seemed so modern."
