Unmeasured by Gregory Thielker

‘Unmeasured’ is a visual portrait of the border territory between the US and Mexico. As public debate intensifies about an expanded border wall and legislative changes to affect immigration, it is important to observe the way this territory looks today. In this project, I traveled to different sections of the border region, crisscrossing back and forth, interviewing local community members, and documenting the diverse terrain.   The result is a series of black and white watercolor paintings ranging from small, intimate views to a large mural. The paintings show various types of border wall, from tall steel barricades, to sheet-metal fences, to historic concrete markers. Images also depict the presence of border patrol, from patrol vehicles, cameras, and tire drag gear as well as of undocumented immigrants, from backpacks, to footprints, and water bottles that often dotted the landscape. Within this terrain, stories are layered on top of one another, or erased completely from the effects of weather and time. The project is meant to ask questions about the border and its impact on individual experience and national identity.
