Austin People’s Gallery 2010 Selects New Border Fence Triptych

Much new work is coming from my project on the Rio Grande / Rio Bravo. In September, I photographed the border fence from the historic Don Juan de Onate crossing near Sunland, New Mexico down to the Lower Valley of El Paso near Fort Quitman. Most of these images are on my website archive under the Rio Grande – El Paso gallery.

Since then, I’ve been working on triptychs of these images for exhibition, creating fifteen in the process. One of these, Border Fence and Ditches, Fabens, TX, was chosen for the upcoming People’s Gallery 2010 exhibit at Austin’s City Hall. Framed 60 x 28, the are individual images 11 x 16 1/2. The print is make on my 12 color HP Z3100 archival pigment printer on 265 gsm 100% Hahnemuhle rag paper.

  1. Beautiful work depicting a hideous subject. There is an exhibition of border wall related work coming up at Galeria 409 in Brownsville, less than a block from the border wall, opening on February 27. You might contact Mark Clark, 409′s owner. I think that your work would make an excellent addition to the show.
