Archive Label 2003: This imposing lithograph and its companion by El Paso native Susan Davidoff are journals of her hikes. While hiking, she sketches, takes photographs, and collects plants and other organic materials. The silhouette plant forms on these lithographs are much larger than their source because of Davidoff’s interest in pedestrians’ changing perceptions as they move through terrain. She also likes bringing a viewer’s attention to a form that might otherwise be overlooked if rendered life-size. Her prints are further connected to actual walks or hikes when she rubs collected organic materials, such as juniper berries, lichen, bark, rust, or flowers into the surface of the paper. Some dirt gathered during the hikes here recorded makes the connection between the artist’s personal experience and her work.
