El (Hub)Capitan II
Acrylic on found hubcap and canvas stretched around the metal hoop within the hubcap.
The hubcap itself is a depiction of the Permian period of geologic time (251-299 mya) when this landscape was a shallow sea teeming with sea sponges and trilobites (one of the earliest arthropods). That ancient life is what makes GUMO what it is today! I stretched a canvas and painted a view of present-day El Capitan behind the hubcap itself to show this major and interconnected passage of time.
