Western Expanse
DIMENSIONS: 39"W X 29"H
DESCRIPTION: Traveling through rangeland in the western United States allowed me a chance to experience the openness of vast areas not found in my native Midwest. I sensed the freedom inherent in open spaces—an abundance of fresh air, natural vistas, and a feeling of being part of something larger than oneself. At the same time, I felt loneliness and isolation. Questions of how to cope in emergencies filled my head. I wondered about the lives of early settlers, who had no electronic communication devices to bring the world closer. In this group of pieces I tried to capture the land’s rich beauty contrasted with its emptiness. 2012
