Since the late 1970's, my work has focused on the landscape and roadway of the American West and Southwest--a view from highways, byways, interstates, and tourist attractions. Begun in 1992, Western American: Roadscapes and Landscapes are images about specific places and time, signage, telephone poles, and human constructions that are a part of the cultural landscape in every western town and city. More generically, they reflect my continuing interest in man's unending need to tame this personal landscape--through radical topiary, green lawns, condos and pools in the desert. Equally compelling have been the myriad of quiet, beautiful, timeless places just off these interstates and smaller roads—riparian woodlands, overgrazed high desert grasslands, and fleeting views most often stumbled upon, glimpsed briefly before backing up, pulling off the highway, and getting out of the car. Through the visual language of the photographic print my intention is to acknowledge a complicated narrative where elemental forms are an inextricable part of an evolving and altered landscape.
