Watercolor on paper, mounted to wood panel. 10×10 inches. Finished with wax.
This is a painting of Cottonwood Pass, located about 20 miles outside of Buena Vista, Colorado. It features a view of Ice Mountain, as well as the North and West Apostles, in the Collegiate Peaks mountains. The white highway amplifies the relationship with man-made infrastructure and how it frames and concedes to geographical markers. The road’s absence of detail shows where we’ve removed natural objects to create access to wild places, playing with the tension of existing as a tool and a scar.
