Gestures of Meaning – An analysis of composition, representation, and process in Pecos River Style Art
Using sites from the recent Hearthstone Project, this presentation will explore the elements of composition in Lower Pecos murals. Through new experiments and analysis, this talk will build on previous research about the complex systems of creating Lower Pecos art. In studying the formal elements of shape, line, and space, along with the variety of mark making used in these paintings, Busby will discuss the ways in which Lower Pecos artists built expressive, visual narratives.
