Image Statement: "Picnic at Dead Horse Bay," needle-woven on fishing nets reminiscent of those made and mended for millennia, embodies the idea of revolving histories. Littered with remnants of lives disrupted by eminent domain, the bay provides a cautionary tale that the past resurfaces, sometimes unexpectedly, often consequentially.
