Mary Ann Strandell, "Transit Trail, Serape, Bird, Construction Strandell writes, "This lenticular work, "Transit Trail Serape, Bird, Construction" is an algorithmic landscape layered with imagery painted at the Rio Borge, and the Southwestern Desert. It is also interspersed with song birds, waterfalls and NYC construction sites. The linear striations are inspired by serape blankets, and mapping systems. It is evocative of the dream-time spaces we collectively integrate into our amplified networks. Aspects of the work were hand-painted: birds, construction drawings, the sumi ink tree, and the very background paintings were all executed at desert sites in Nevada and New Mexico. Although my studio is in NYC, I travel a few times a year to southwest to camp and paint and organize gatherings with other intrepid artists. The areas where ancient petroglyphs can still be found hold high interest to locate and to stay in such areas for my outdoor studio camps. Thus, my work combines a complex relationship between experiences of trekking, on-site painting, studio painting and a digital conversation that involves optics and moving images."
