  • Back to Kansas is comprised of 70 blocks of brilliant and subtle color gleaned from the artist's own repeated viewing of The Wizard of Oz. Each color in the grid corresponds to a color from the film, such as “Yellow Brick Road” and “Ruby Slippers.” The size and shape of the billboard is a reference to the proportional relationship between the width and height—or aspect ratio—in which the film was originally projected (1.37:1). — University of Houston
