If they're in front of you they go too fast; if they're behind you they go too slow

​Julia Jay Hardman

A Street Road exhibition in guest rooms at the nearby Christiana Motel
​
September 2017 through April 2020 
​Julia’s drawing series of trucks on Route 41 for The Christiana Motel humanizes and adds whimsy to one of the most prominent aspects of traffic in the region. She reports that she has kind of fallen in love with big rigs over the course of this year-long project photographing and drawing them. She has yet to meet an actual trucker, but she hopes to. She intends to continue the project with portraits of drivers.

Each of the 12 rooms at The Christiana Motel shows a unique drawing from this series, complemented by a drawing from another of Julia’s ongoing projects - The Infinite Critter Series. Prints and originals are available for purchase at motel reception, 376 Route 41, Christiana, PA.

A word about 'here':
We acknowledge that we are on the ancestral lands of the Lenape, original people of the mid-Atlantic area, forced west by British and US governments. Most Delaware Indian tribe descendants are now located in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. Lenni Lenapes in Pennsylvania are not officially recognized as tribes by the United States, though an estimated 5000 Lenape Nation descendants live in the Delaware River area. We pay respects to the Lenape people both past and present. Please consider the many legacies of violence, displacement and settlement that form part of our collective histories. While increased public recognition of these legacies and processes of redress such as Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission are positive steps, concrete focus on return of land and land rights remains a distant horizon.
