See All Fifteen At Once

Using photographs of Arrow signs in Alabama shot in 2002 and 2003, I printed a selection of fifteen images on 16X20" paper. These silver gelatin prints where then letter-pressed over with the location and date and then framed. Using large letter-pressed type over the photograph makes the installation viewable at a further distance, which afforded me the option of using porch chairs seen in Alabama from all walks of life. One sits in the installation itself on the porch chairs, fans oneself with manufactured letter-pressed fans with a hand drawn Alabama map showing where the arrow signs were located, and one observes the photographs of the arrow signs showing the immediate landscape around them, and also telling us what are the needed items for the road worthy Alabaman. The installation reveals many worlds of Alabama and more and more can be seen if one takes the time to lounge and observe in this installation.
