"Nazca Lines, Peru #1"
acrylic on heavily sized pure linen paper, 33 3/8 x 25 5/16

Gavin’s expression of the re-markable surface geometry etched out of the Peruvian desert that was discovered by the pilot of a light aircraft in 1954. It is not known for what purpose these strange projections were created. Spec-ulation has even suggested that they mark landing sites for extra-terrestrial craft. The Trans- American Highway, of course, cuts through the very heart of them, so Truckers couldn’t give a shit. Gavin’s theory suggests that the Nazca plateau was God’s Drawing Board, and the lines are the pressure grooves left from God’s pencil after He had completed His plan for the Universe.
