rest stop + stage

installation

Rest Stop + Stage is a mixed-media survey of two sites, an abandoned Oregon Trail stage stop and its contemporary counterpart, a nearby interstate rest stop. A topological pair spanning 150 years—-settler grazing land and contemporary birds of prey preserve, military combat training range and frontier one-room schoolhouse, interstate campground and abandoned grange hall—-the study reveals the cultural, political, and technological networks embedded in the everyday landscape of the Snake River Plain.
