Additionally included within the present are painted, laser-cut wooden panels created from LiDAR map imagery elegantly revealing the river’s historic pathways.

   The artist writes:  “This exhibition contains not solely up to date views of the Kaw but additionally work that imagines the traditional and evolving Kansas River Valley. These embody imagery of floodplain scrolls—scars left behind from outdated river channels—the ancestral Kaw Lake, and the proof of historic life alongside the Kaw.”
