Border says the piece is based off of topographic maps of the St Joseph area, and old maps showing the flood plains of the Missouri River through history.
Border is currently an Education Assistant at the Johnson County Museum in Shawnee, KS, and a Student Archive Science Trainee at the National Archives and Records Administration in Lenexa, KS. He currently attends the Graphic Design Certificate Program at the Kansas City Art Institute, and expects to graduate in May.
