Commissioned by the University of Mississippi Medical Center for their Children’s of Mississippi Family Waiting Room, the Watersheds series was co-designed through a series of conversations and draft sharing between the artist, a range of staff members, and family groups. 

In Watersheds, johnson ponders the lines which tie people together; the connections and disconnections forged between natural limits and man-made structures layered upon them. Printed on plexiglass, these digital prints of cut paper and found object assemblages reflect their surroundings as if a collection in a display case. The “in progress” style of the compositions invites viewers to imagine picking up the pieces and continuing the creative process.
