Description |
In Beaver Casino, Adams offers a casino for the Great North, an imaginative hybrid of Las Vegas baroque and any of the "world's largest" roadside attractions you might see when driving across Canada. This print, a proposal of sorts, might serve a purpose similar to that of an architectural model. It affords a point from which we might speculate on how particularly inventive structures can radically alter a landscape and its communities.
