Artist, American, born 1954

The image depicts a rugged landscape with a low, angled viewpoint. A rocky slope leads the eye to the left, rising steeply and narrowing towards the sky. A prominent rock formation with textured surfaces and sparse vegetation is on the right. The horizon is high where the rocky landscape meets the sky. The color palette is monochromatic with rich gradations of grayscale. A narrow path of light appears in the distance, dividing the darker terrain from the brighter sky and accentuating shadows and details of natural formations.
