| Notes: |
Artist Statement - In St. Louis, water and asphalt share an unusual
connection via gambling. Ironically casino boats—despite their dependency on
collective and cultural memories of an economically vital riverfront and
riverboat gambling of early traders on the Mississippi—currently contribute more
towards a St. Louis of highways and suburban sprawl than toward a city
respectful of its origins at the river’s edge. |
