About this work

This work looks like a mix of maps and photos. On the left side, there are blueprints with handwritten notes and property lines. The right side shows three small photos of waves crashing against cliffs. The whole piece is printed in a single blue color, like faded old paper. The photos and maps are stuck together in a way that feels messy but intentional. The artist used a printing method that turns blue when exposed to light, making everything look like it’s from an old document. If you like this, look up Michael Heizer next.
