Artist, American, born 1954

The image shows a dirt road winding through a rocky landscape. A large rock formation is on the left, with another rock structure on the right. The road disappears into the distance past the rocks. The horizon is obscured by hills, with trees in the background. The monochrome palette highlights the textures and shapes of the rocks, as well as the light and shadow. The contrast between the rugged surfaces and the sky is clear. The black and white tones give a timeless quality to the scene.
