Stratigraphic Column II

Stratigraphic Column II is an artwork composed of a digitally generated inkjet prints installed around two 14 ft. (4.2 m) existing structural columns. The project is part of an exhibition, Techno/Sublime, at the University of Colorado, Boulder, from February 4 to March 18, 2005, curated by Lisa Tamaris Becker.
