Artist, American, born 1954

The image shows an aerial view of an arid and rugged landscape with eroded mounds of earth and remnants of wooden structures scattered across the barren ground. The scene appears to be an old mining area with weathered beams and debris. The horizon is high in the image, displaying a vast, rocky expanse stretching into the distance with a faint line of mountains against the sky. The photo is in black and white, creating a stark, timeless quality with high contrast between the textured surfaces of the soil and the shadows cast by the wooden elements.
