Reduction Linocut on Washi Paper

h: 50 w: 40 d: 1 (cms).

A directional interchange (or stack interchange, 4-6 levels), is a type of grade-separated junction between two controlled-access highways. The inclusion of access roads along all highways and the prolific number of such stacks in Texas have led 5-level interchanges to be labeled a “Texas Stack.” Like the state flower, the Bluebonnet, these interchanges are unique markers of a Texas landscape. Here, I have rendered a major interchange in San Antonio, TX, only including highways and adjacent access roads. While proportionally accurate from a birds eye view, these works remove the junctions from their environment, idealizing and beautifying the gray concrete obelisks.

£700 (As exhibited.)
£700 (Unframed print.)
