statement:
Through various projects, including Reconsidering Landscape, Staging the West, Tucumcari, Fact and Fiction and most recently, Louisiana Trail Riders I have sought to deconstruct the mythology of the American West. My work exposes the contradictions of the imagined, frequently romantic, American frontier and inverts expectations of popular Western figures.
