Antequera
2019
Mixed media: glass slides, cork, wood, postcards, allium stalk, paint
13 x 7 in (33 x 17.78cm)

Antequera references a hand-colored, 1575 map of Antequera, Málaga, Spain, by mapmaker Braun & Hogenberg in Cologne. It features the Sierra de los Torcales with its plentiful salt springs and the fertile countryside. In the foreground, two peasants bookend an enormous earthenware jug, a symbol of the region’s flourishing agriculture, crafts and trade. My interest in agrarianism prompted a recollection of a Daniel Webster quote that "when tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization.”
