Sweet Crude” refers to that most sought-after form of petroleum, at once a source of treasured conveniences and the grim catalyst of international conflict, economic collapse and environmental distress. Lane’s cuttings of world maps evoke both war room computer monitors and historical colonial maps where corporations and governments alike divvy up territories for global domination. Yet, one also finds religious symbols, heraldry, suburban houses, pastoral scenes and mythological trysts transforming the maps into tapestries and making any interpretation of its tangled iconography seductively elusive.
