During 2013–15, I photographed more than 500 of the existing I-70 billboards along the 250 miles between St. Louis and Kansas City.


As a visiting artist at Epicenter, in Green River, Utah, I held a public screening of the Missouri sign archive on a blank billboard in the desert near the western end of I-70. The result was a “foreign exchange” between landscapes connected by a road but remote to each other in culture and terrain.
