Its a grand ol’ journey west! Tumbling weeds, living skies, and dusty trails don’t tell the whole tale. This series kicks over the logs of the fabled west and spies a gander at the wild critters that scuttle out.

With the promise of the west came the ideal of wealth and opportunity, but while the train laid its tracks down and screamed across the wild plains, it wasn’t slowing for anything in its path. The wild roses of the land were ripped up by the roots and replaced with cold iron. The vibrant colors and shapes of the land, the people, and the cultures were stripped away to builds monuments to a new world- totems of a hollow promise.

This series explores the dualities of past and present, elemental and manufactured, love and loss, spirit and ego. The land holds no secrets, and its ready to reveal what awaits… YONDER!
