Distance Learning connects a remembered place with one at hand. Drawing upon images of Mt. Rushmore under construction and the rock formations of the South Dakota Badlands, I create a merger with their fabricated proxies dotting Lincoln’s Antelope Creek green way. Using building materials and second hand objects, I cobble together lonely vistas alluding to the slippages associated with memory’s shaking hold on place.
