My Mother's Teacups, Rio Grande River near McAllen, Texas, 2012

These are my mother’s Bone China Teacups that she brought back from England (where my ancestors are from) that I carried to the Border and photographed, to reference the idea that we are all immigrants.

Humanizing the Border, Boundary line on the
 Nuevo Progresso Bridge
between the United States and Mexico, 2012

After speaking at a conference on the Inner German Border in Hannover, Germany earlier this year, I started thinking about ways to humanize the border; questioning the ways in which border lines are created or drawn, usually by a group of people far away from the site looking at a map.

"Taking old embroideries/doilies/laces and graphically retracing their borders, Harbage Page carries out a conceptual operation. She places the embroidery or the doily under a sheet of hand-made translucent paper and, with ink that is prevalently black but also magenta, she re-codifies its design.

In the passage from artifact to work of art, the American artist thus reconstructs the most intimate matrix of the object, endowing the hand of the woman who made it with a metaphorical identity."
