“The paintings in the exhibition are the height of a human and of various widths. These panels resonate with the “bar-codes” format – they are mineral geo-seam paintings that are all the same height, installed as a continuous lode with certain minerals dominating like copper, manganese, titanium platinum fines, and gold mine dump sands.”
