cut paper map, glass and hardware, 24 x 36 x .5 inches, 1991/1997
a AAA road map of the USA, removing all the land and leaving only the connected road network.

came together to form small knots or clusters and placing them between glass microscope
slides. Many of these extractions became quite figurative.
