Border Paintings
Installation, Marfa, Texas, 2019
In the spring of 2019, I made these relief paintings on wood with salt, honey and olive oil -- all age-old trade goods.
The images are abstracted aerial shots of the Rio Grande as it lies between the U.S. and Mexico.
In 2001, many small bridges that had been used for centuries were closed down.
In these Border Paintings, I've stitched in imaginary, suggested bridges.
