Artist, American, born 1954

The image shows a low angle view of an open landscape with a high-positioned horizon. A dusty path leads into the distance, where clouds hang low in the sky. Faint mountains or hills are visible far away. The scene is in black and white with a timeless quality. The ground is rocky with sparse vegetation and a broken wooden bridge or structure. The overall feeling is one of desolation and vastness emphasized by the monochromatic palette.
