Triangulation. Acrylic on canvas. 20" W x 16" H.
Triangulation for measuring a distant point in a rugged landscape before we had global navigation satellite systems. (In surveying, triangulation is the process of determining the location of a distant point by measuring only angles to it from known points at either end of a baseline by using trigonometry). Too overwhelming to fathom that every road, every river, every wheat field is surveyed by GPS, Google Earth, and all secret places will be found.
Materials: Acrylic paint, gesso, sand, triangular canvas overlay, grass.
