| Long abstract | These images are from Drawn to the Edge, my solo exhibition at the New Orleans Museum of Art (June 15 to September 9, 2012). In many ways the work is an attempt to capture time—to ex-plore how today’s New Orleans is profoundly connected to its past and to consider how quickly we seem to be running out of time.During a six-week residency this spring at A Studio in the Woods (ASITW), which is located on a bend of the Mississippi River just east of the city center, I looked atthe history of the place, focusing my research on the city and its relationship with the river, through both the slow processes of geologic time and the rapid changes of the 20th and 21st centuries. I quickly came to see that New Orleans’ history is fundamentally connected to its underlying geology, more so than any other place I’ve ever been. Five thousand years ago, there was no land where New Orleans is today – it was all open water. Slowly over the millennia, the alluvial plain of southern Louisiana was created as the Mississippi River dropped sediment along its meandering path to the Gulf of Mexico. |
