The Perpetual Frieze

The Perpetual Frieze project has been evolving over thirty years and continues on. This series consists of photographs of urban landscape elements where Jake Fernandez has lived and visited, and these locations have been used also in numerous paintings and drawings. In The Perpetual Frieze collages, he works from left to right, from location to location, with new additions always in progress.
