This piece evokes feelings of long drives on lonely highways under vast skies, seeing ghosts of all the ancestors across the landscape: hunters, farmers, missionaries, cowboys, steelworkers, prospectors. Searchers. Dreamers, all. I wanted it to feel like hearing all their stories on the wind, in Spanish and Chumash and Surfer Bro and Pidgin, the chatter in the static, tuning the radio dial around and around, searching searching, searching for what, we do not know...
Meaning. Connection. A sense of belonging, of Home...?
Adventure?
Riches?
Enlightenment?
The loneliness and grandeur can be hallucinatory, like the heat in summer.
The tacos are often magnificent.
This piece was hand-made in the Roots-Gallery & Design Co. location in Los-Osos studio in 2019. The pictorial surface is 5/16" FSC Certified maple ply, and the sidewalls are made from 3/4" of the same grade and species.
The total depth is roughly 1", and the piece comes with hanging hardware--eye-hooks and wire--pre-installed, and hangs simply from a single attachment point on the wall.
The sides of the picture are painted-out with lacquer and oil paint and are a carefully considered element of the composition, contact for detail photos/videos.
Archival reproductions and other print media are available.
