Robert Mallary was a keen and trenchant social observer. Much of
Mallary's early sculptural and later collage work commented on and came
out of the undercurrent of our society’s conspicuous consumption of natural
resources and the waste that it creates. Mallary found in this flotsam and
jetsam of our consumer culture a ready source of materials that he used in
his assemblage and collage. Excerpt from Curator’s Statement:
Robert Mallary’s artwork spans the pivotal decades of the American
hegemony in visual arts in the twentieth century. His work reflected and
presaged many of the artistic practices of our time and augured
a future of art that as yet is unrealized.

Beginning with discarded maps, LaPrade Seuthe carefully color matches the hues in the existing maps and applies these opaque paint mixtures to eradicate names, symbols and other location identifiers. Once the clean slate has been established, she adds drawings of images culled from encyclopedias, dictionaries, travel guides and assorted manuals. For her, this process is parallel to an internal process of creating a clean slate or starting over. Her painting is complete when connections between seemingly random images are revealed.
