Artist, American, 1947 - 2010

The image is taken from an elevated point of view, overlooking a sloping hillside. The horizon is high in the frame, with the sky barely visible. Shrubs, patches of grass, and debris are scattered across the land. The landscape appears wild and unkempt with a monochromatic black and white color palette. In the distance, at the top of the hill, is a dark object that appears to be a stack or pile.
