About The Artwork
Borderlands represents a section of the US/Canadian border, the longest undefended boundary in the world. Unlike the border with Mexico, the US does not patrol this border with the same vigilance as with our southern border. This is consistent with the President’s policy of keeping undesirable people out of the US. Curiously, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC/AFPC) identified this as “the most porous [section of the border]” https://youtu.be/UlibBaBajAQ, suggesting that there is much to fear from a steady stream of trucks carrying logs. Like the boundaries of other former colonies, this border is strangely arbitrary in it’s alignment. I have always been fascinated by borders, and as an artist, I have examined that theme several times; likewise, borders are part of our current public consciousness. Some perceive “insecure borders” with a “loss of sovereignty.” This is not only an issue in the United States, but also around the world in places as diverse as Hungary, Italy, Greece, Spanish Morocco, India, Manchuria, Australia, and many other places globally. This print was produced as a part of the BIG INK program managed and jured by Lyell Castonguay. It was printed as a limited run of three total prints at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH on June 2, 2019, one of which remains in BIG INK’s permanent collection as an Artist Proof. No additional prints will be made.

Drawing is a medium that grew naturally out of my profession: cartography. (Secretly, I think that I became that cartographer because what I really wanted to do was to draw) In addition to pen and ink, my repertoire includes block and intaglio printing, and watercolor. ME. THE PERSON. I was born and raised in Chicago, and with a couple of exceptions, most of the next twenty-five years of my life was spent in the Rust Belt cities of Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. Although artistically talented as a child, I have devoted my professional career to cartographic design. In an effort to improve the design qualities of my maps, I took up art with the intention of utilizing what I had learned into my professional work; instead, I rediscovered my artistic roots while living in Ohio and have continued that path since relocating to Maine in 2010. For these reason, I have styled myself as the Rustbelt Cartographer, despite my current location, and, here in a former mill town, because of it. Today, I live in the small and remote rural town of Millinocket, Maine with my wife Susan Mathias and my dog Gus. I can gaze upon Mount Katahdin from my front yard—the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail within the vast wilderness of Baxter State Park. I also live near the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument—there is a lot of geography in Maine's North Woods! I might be Maine-based, but I’m a cartographer, and I love the geography of many places in the world. I suspect that you do, too!
