| Old
West Fence |
| |
| Like so many
of my designs, Old West Fence no longer exists in the real
world. As a boy living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I used to go to the
extinct volcanoes on the mesa west of the city. There was a cavity on
the east side in which I could sit and see the whole landscape which
included Albuquerque, the Sandia Mountains east of the city, and the
mountains north, up by Santa Fe. The gate to the volcanoes was an old
wooden post and barbed wire fence, one half of which is the subject of
the print. The mountains in the background are south of Albuquerque
about 50 miles or so. The last time I was out to the volcanoes, the
fence had been replaced by government green stakes with white tops and
fresh barbed wire, and the volcanoes had become a park. I am glad to see
that the volcanoes will be preserved from development, but I miss the
old west fence. (Update, July 2002: I’ve been back out to the
volcanoes and it’s been many, many years. The fence has changed again
and rangers patrol the park to discourage misuse, which seems to be so
prevalent these days. Still, I yearn for the days of my childhood and
the simplicity of that old west fence.) |
