Jeffrey Vallance, Relic from the LBJ Ranch, 2006

Gravel, LBJ pin, reliquary, 10 x 4 1/4 x 4 in. (25.4 x 10.8 x 10.2 cm)

While living on Majestic Ranch in the Texas hill country in 2002, I visited another ranch in the vicinity: the LBJ Ranch. I had been to President Lyndon Johnson's ranch once before, in 1968, on a family vaction. In 2002, I made it a pilgrimage project to visit all the local LBJ historical sites - the LBJ Library, Johnson's birthplace, and the ranch. I collected a few stones from the gravel floor inside LBJ's cattle barn. I made two matching LBJ reliquaries; one has been donated to the LBJ Library in Austin, Texas and is now part of the library's collection.

Jeffrey Vallance, Rock in the Shape of Texas, 2006

Rock in the shape of Texas, reliquary, 17 x 13 3/4 x 6 1/4 in. (43.2 x 34.9 x 15.9 cm)

In 2002, my wife and I lived for a time on a longhorn cattle ranch in Boerne, Texas, called the Majestic Ranch. We were both artists-in-residence at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Shortly after arriving at the ranch, I went for a trek through the scrubby juniper forest, where I came upon a rock simulacrum roughly in the shape of the state of Texas, which is quite distinctive, with its protruding panhandle. I thought, What are the chances of finding a rock shaped anything remotely resembling it? I constructed a reliquary recalling the shape of the nearby Alamo to house the Texas simulacrum.
