FEATURED ARTIST MULTIPLEOver the Horizon: A Print to Benefit WGXC by Tim Clifford
Over The Horizon is a 4-color limited edition of 50, $100, silkscreen print created for WGXC by artist Tim Clifford. The print is based on warning signs signaling dangerous levels of high-intensity radio waves. These signs were found on the perimeter of the U.S. Navy’s R.O.T.H.R. (Remote Over The Horizon Radar) installation on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. Following the end of decades of bombing tests by the U.S. Navy, the R.O.T.H.R. site is the largest remaining military installation on the island, and monitors ship and air traffic along drug trafficking routes in the Caribbean. |
