portfolios: The silent air of ruin is fragile.
Installed at 500X Gallery in Dallas in 2015, this body of work explores the ecology of drought along the Brazos River—where my grandfather first taught me how to fish with a string and a paperclip—and takes inspiration from John Graves' own journey and 1960 memoir, Goodbye to A River.
