With an eye to nature as a romantic ideal, Regin Igloria explores how we carry the wilderness along with us, both psychologically and as a visual souvenir. Two small paintings here recall classic picture postcards, while hand-drawn decals combine gear-happy catalog imagery with Thoreau's forest-friendly musings, merging commodification and commemoration. Nearby, large ink drawings make mountain peaks out of heaps of jogging strollers and road-workers' vests, as if dreaming nature into being from fragments of suburban life. Igloria compares the slow, steady process of making his detailed drawings to mountain climbing; maybe it's no surprise that at the end we get such a remarkable view.
