I juxtapose two works of art that happen to appear in the same gallery, a collection of western art assembled in the old building that was once Arizona’s capitol. The towering, tunnel-like, landscape painting behind it dwarfs the small sculpture of the horseman. I focus on the sculpture, making the yawning landscape behind it turn soft and dreamlike. The pairing of nostalgic symbols complement each other. They take us back to another time, an era when the west was truly wild, and those who came here could savor its unspoiled natural beauty along with its hazards.
