The "east" and "west" columns of Stratigraphic Columns III (San Andreas), each have digitally compressed geologic images from the east and west sides of the San Andreas fault respectively. Continuing the theme of "anthroturbation" examined in other projects, digitally compressed architectural images from the destruction by the 1906 earthquake of San Francisco are included as strata in the columns. The architectural images are shown as positives in the east column and inverted negatives in the west column. Also
commissioned for this show, Protogaea Civica III (Santa Rosa),
a geology flag work describing the geology beneath Santa Rosa.
The flag image shows the artist (left) and geologist Terry
Wright (right) beneath a temporary geologic flag sequence, installed
for the opening of the exhibition, describing only
the Franciscan Complex
beneath Santa Rosa. New
flags were installed
after the
opening of the exhibition with a more complete description of
Santa Rosa geology. Full
