This portfolio and artist statement addresses the ongoing photographic series Drift Alignment, which explores the historical and contemporary conditions along the US-Mexico border. The work examines the legacy of Spanish colonization, US territorial expansion and contemporary migration with an emphasis on the various ways in which astronomy and celestial navigation have played a role in the evolution of the border region of southern Arizona.Keywords: migrationimmigrationastronomyUS-Mexico bordercelestial navigationlandscape Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsAndrew O'BrienNoteAndrew O'Brien is an Associate Professor in the Department of Art at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
