DescriptionThis two-part collage shows a black-and-white photograph of pathways in a park that are covered by a drawing of saffron-colored cloth above portion of a park map delineated with gold lines, both centered on large white board. Two pathways meet from the bottom of this horizontally oriented composition. The route from the right-hand corner curves to the center then veers off to the right again towards the top of the composition. The path on the left comes to the center but has other trails that branch off toward the left as well. The paths are hidden towards the top of the composition as they continue in the distance behind trees in the park. The photo/drawing and map are centered on a larger board, crossed with a few perpendicular lines in black ink. Handwritten notes are above the photo/drawing and at the top of the board.Exhibition History
