About the Item
Over a hundred years ago, my grandfather registered as a homesteader with the Department of the Interior Land Office in Buffalo, Wyoming. Building a cabin on a remote 640 acre plat, he worked as a range hand at the neighboring Tipperary Ranch thirty miles east of the Big Horn Mountains. My father would also inherit this love of the West and he too would venture into the landscapes along with his father. They both dreamed of staying in Wyoming but both ended up living and working in Chicago.
Several Years ago I found a set of architectural floor plans from 1959 that my father drew up for a house he intended to build in the area. The landscape was carefully surveyed and a set of renderings were made that included structural diagrams, heating ductwork routes, ventilation plans and plumbing diagrams.
The house was never realized and the drawings sat undisturbed for sixty years. As an homage to my inherited passion for design and the love of wild places, I undertook a collaborative drawing project adding to my father's renderings and grandfather's maps. I added the animals as well as others native to North America, Yellowstone National Park and the Cloud Peak Wilderness Region of Wyoming. Making a home for the wilderness, natural animals, and inhabitants in these environments is necessary; this projects is a reconciliation between the generations of people that have struggled, dreamed and worked the landscapes that we all inhabit and must share. -Don Pollack

Don Pollack BIOGRAPHY
Don Pollack is a Painter and Adjunct Associate Professor of Visual Communication at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work investigates among other things, the relationship between personal mythologies and representation in painting and how it may simultaneously give reference to a narrative. Working in cross disciplines has influenced his perspectives as projects begin with an epic adventure. Conceptually proceeding from the premise that all vision is historic and constructed, Pollack’s research starts with the planning of a long distance trek,– such as a 3000 mile journey via bicycle following Lewis and Clark. His work has utilized maps, documents, photography, painting, and installation. This work was routed in a previous investigation into the role of museums in the process of forming collective memory.
Don studied design at the University of Illinois and painting at the Ohio State University where he received his MFA. The state of Illinois has recognized his history based work with a special bicentennial edition of the ‘Order of Abraham Lincoln’ award. He has exhibited nationally and internationally and has shown many solo shows in, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Canada.
