A Course of Empire 2000 Hand toned silver gelatin prints mounted on wood, graphite, charcoal, acrylic resin Encircled by a tiny car race, we are reminded of a time when speed was a thrill and not an expectation. A Course of Empire refers to the series of paintings by Fredrick Edwin Church which depict the birth, growth and downfall of the Roman Empire. The course these cars travel has no visible start or finish. They are stalled in perpetual forward motion.
