Artwork Description / Context
The visual imagery draws from the changing seasons of Chautauqua Park - one of Boulder’s most iconic natural and cultural landmarks, known for its open trails, historic charm, and public accessibility as a treasured community space.
Chautauqua is widely regarded as a symbol of natural beauty, restoration, and public enjoyment within Boulder’s landscape. Its presence in the Paper Trail Series artwork creates a layered contrast between public serenity and private lived experience, highlighting the tension between places that represent openness and grounding, and the realities of housing instability experienced by tenants within the same geographic context.
This juxtaposition reflects the broader themes of the Paper Trail Series: visibility vs. lived experience, public narrative vs. private reality, and the complexity of place as both refuge and witness.
