GREEN BRICK, GREEN BACK

2004

Residency and solo show at Rice University Gallery, Houston, Texas USA

Focusing their attention on the architectural exterior of the building the gallery was housed in, a magnified image in grass of bricks and mortar in layering depth and perspective filled the near entirety of the back wall. The companion work took hard currency, a one-dollar bill, and recreated it's image in grass. Folded to echo the structure of the brick columns, it drew a connection between the oil rich environment of Houston and the fundamental relationship between light, photosynthesis, oil and money.
