Rio Grande Mud

On a recent visit to Big Bend National Park I explored the intersection of the United States border with Mexico, which IS the Rio Grande. So much has happened there before and after white settlers and military staked claims on the land.

Interpreting these events through the natural element of the river required time and meditation (separate from the intellectual thinking that we sometimes are drawn to). The result is the works shown here. Mud is ever present along the Rio Grande. The level of the river rises and falls according to Mexico’s use of it for irrigation but the mud is always there.
