Cabinet Oak Project

Swimming the Potomac by way of Ranch Road 1,

An artist talk by Alicia Philley about the work she created for the Cabinet Oak Project.

A legacy as far-reaching as that of LBJ does not fit into a simple summary or a single artwork. I chose to illuminate flash points that evoke something larger than the sum of their parts. The title is a map to guide you. It refers to concrete places that are referenced with abstract lines and colorful marks. It also offers a metaphor for a few of the ways the President and First Lady used their position, passion, and deep connection to this ranch, to build a legacy of conservation.
