Dam Miracles 2024

In May 2016, Color-A-Dam! took place on ArtHop night in Fresno! The community visited the project gallery and colored in with crayons a large printout of my drawing of Fresno County’s Friant Dam.

Last year, in 2023, I decided to hang up the big dam paper on the empty wall above my kitchen table, after the the 10-foot page had been rolled up in it’s tube and in storage for years. There was just enough room for it to fit on the wall! I also had the urge to print out a little copy of the show’s wall statement and tape it up under the big picture, a declaration. 

Below are a few documents from Color-A-Dam!, as a commemoration and anticipation of movement.

Happy September 2024.
