Once called the National Trails Road, old Route 66 carried travelers in automobiles such as this one from Chicago to Santa Monica. Today this old car stands in front of Barstow’s Mother Road Museum, which houses a vast array of highway memorabilia. Instead of showing what the museum looks like in my picture, I symbolize the nature of the museum by abstracting the old car parked in a symbolic rectangular frame bounded by a power wire and two flags. The car itself is made up of a series of rectangular frames, and so, of course is the frame of the image itself. I’ve created a series of nested frames that relegate this vintage car, as well as the highway it used, to their niche in history.
