In
2001 and 2002, Samantha Simpson made digital borders for the pieces
in the Snake Cycle. The borders were printed on an inkjet printer,
and contained narratives that extended and deepened the metaphors
in the pieces in the Snake Cycle. |

The
borders hang around the larger works on paper and form a relationship
with the spaces in which the larger pieces are hung.They can be placed
between contiguous paintings in such a way that the pieces in the
Snake Cycle read as one continuous painting, or environment. |

The
images here are from a 2002 exhibtion at the Westchester Art Center
in Peekskill, New York. Each painting is surrounded by a set of up
to eight border pieces. Production of the digital borders was made
possible with a generous grant from Temple University. |
