A white sculpture shaped like a square-ended hand-held scoop. The interior of the scoop is stained with spatters of indigo. The front edge of the scoop splits into a row of narrow tines. The ends of most of the tines are stained with the same shade of indigo as the interior of the scoop.

Las Vegas-based mixed-media artist Andreana Donahue tests the history and context of landscapes by committing found materials to intensive analog processes. Her work has been exhibited across the United States and internationally, with shows in Alaska, California, Nevada, Illinois, Texas, South Carolina; and Bluonduos and Reykjavík, Iceland. Donahue is the co-founder of Disparate Minds, a project dedicated to the work of marginalized self-taught artists. (DKS)
