Third Bank of the River, a glass window panorama, documents several miles of shoreline at a border between the U.S. and Canada. The artwork synthesizes two contrasting cultural traditions: tourist river panoramas of the nineteenth century and Iroquois wampum belts. It depicts pairs of opposing shorelines at the Three Nations Crossing international bridge: the Cornwall, Ontario mainland and the north shore of Cornwall Island (part of Akwesasne Mohawk Territory) paired with the south shore of Cornwall Island and the Massena, New York mainland. The artwork echoes the historic Two Row Wampum Belt, which recorded and signified--through two rows of purple shell beads alternating with three rows of white beads--an early seventeenth-century treaty of friendship and coexistence between native Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and immigrant Europeans. The rows symbolized the parallel paths of the canoe and the sailing ship, and the respective customs and laws of each group.
