Fences (work in progress)
Pine Meadow Ranch Center for Arts and Agriculture
2025
Fences are ways that humans break up the land. They separate, and restore, and display wealth, and fall down, and harm, and help. This body of work uses layered glass panels to create patterns that shift, interfere with each other, and change as the viewer moves in front of them. As the panels are held up in front of various landscapes, they break up the land over and over again in new ways. The work uses an interrupted version of Broken Road to California, a pioneer quilt pattern that came into popularity in the early days of white people moving west, cutting into and marking the land in ways that shaped and continue to shape the movement of people, flora, and fauna.
This Sisters, OR is famous as a quilting hub. It is also known for ranching; fences, gates, paths, and bridges are everywhere.
Michelle Hinojosa consulted on the materials and is another artist doing incredible things with quilt patterns and light.
