what las palmas mean

Pairing poetry words with photographic cyanotype images in a random narrative fashion created fragmented stores and new logical interpretations of my travels in the southwest. These panels document and frame the vernacular signs of route 66 against evocative words about palm trees.

The frame, the brush stoke, and the image are three disparate elements that are simultaneously existing on a non hierarchal page. They are not mixing or blending, but cut into the page landscape in a structured frame. The words of the poem are contrasted against the words of the sign. The 2D and 3D surface of the page—2D words and 3D photographs—is constructing flatness and depth.
