    Series derived from early European American landscape paintings of the “new” world; in service to Manifest Destiny, they were a form of advertisement, including fake elements such as dramatic sunsets and palm trees to attract land speculators. Exhibited at ‘Publication, Schmublication’, curated by Tomashi Jackson.

    after Helen Frankenthaler & excerpt, Grapes of Wrath
    “looking down… into the wide, frightened eyes… slowly she lay down beside him. He shook his head slowly, from side to side… she loosened the side of her blanket… bared her breast…closer… pulled his head close… ‘There.’Her hand moved behind his head and supported it. Her fingers moved gently in his hair. She looked up and across… and her lips came together and smiled mysteriously.”
