Artist, American, born 1954

The image shows an old and worn trailer home. It is viewed straight-on, allowing a full view of its front. The picture is in black and white, giving it a timeless look. The horizon is low, just above the top of the trailer, which spans the width of the frame. The ground in the foreground is sandy with some sparse vegetation. The trailer is in poor condition, with missing panels, broken windows, and a makeshift entrance. The sky is bright but hazy, blending into the light tones of the landscape.
