Overview

The Texas Church Project began as an exhaustive survey of the more than 15,000 churches in Texas. Utilizing Google Street View, the artist collected some 2,000 images that fruitfully served as a trajectory in his endeavor. For the second aspect of the project, Rothfuss created large-scale paintings, emphasizing the relationship between the building and landscape. For these, no attempt was made to hide the source of the images, and in fact the keys, maps, and watermarks of the original screen save are included in the final work. Finally, Rothfuss transformed the digital images into three-dimensional models of churches that project from the wall as reliefs.
