This is one of two collages commissioned by an energy company (NuStar Energy) in San Antonio, Texas. They requested San Antonio landmarks.  The two pieces each depict one of the missions in that city.

This is literally the catch-all for what does not fit neatly into other categories. Should water alone be part of “Rocks and Water”? What about rocks alone? And then there are the abstracts and the buildings…. Basically, this is the repository of the world of “Yes”. When a client asks, “Can you do a building?”, the answer is “Yes”. And if Los Angeles County says they really like the collages, but they have more volume than walls, of course they should get a three-dimensional sculpture. It’s all part of “Other”.
