50 STATES > Wyoming

The installation includes an elaborately hand-cut series of Wyoming road maps in which the "land" is cut away leaving an arterial network of roads and waterways, creating the image of a bridge and found graffiti that we encountered along the Platte River. It is suspended across a corner of the gallery which has been painted black.

The graffiti "cock" which points West felt like a (surely unintended) subversive celebration of the route's queer significance.
