Salina Art Center, Artist-in-residence
Integrating the histories of Salina's summer pastime activity, swimming, the large 1920s municipal pool is painted with two patterns that represent the whites only pool and the inset representing the blacks-only pool. This work is visible through virtual maps such as Google Earth, marking a visual history of Salina from an aerial perspective.
