This Land is not Empty is an exhibition by Don Pollack. This work comes from a 3000 mile journey traveled from lake Michigan to the Pacific coast. Moving through the landscape the presence of history saturates the experience of the land. In these works in oil on canvas the past traumas and momentary revelations speak to the conflict between abstraction and representation of the land, the land we inhabit, inextricably forget that we are a part of, we conquer, and we picture. Through a physical journey, the measures of this show attempts to make a space for knowing the land.
