Oil and sand on Fiberboard

24” h x 18” w

In ancient times, a sea covered most of the southwestern United States. It was during this time that layers of gypsum were deposited on the seafloor. The rise and fall of the sea level millions of years ago have exposed the gypsum, which subsequently was carried by wind and deposited in the site of White Sands National Monument in New Mexico.  Climatic conditions over the eons have created this magnificent landscape, which is still evolving today.
