Rebecca Wilson, Scenes from the American West (LANDSCAPE 2023)
The American Old West has been mythologised and romanticised for generations. Native peoples, cowboys, bandits, speculators, and pioneers all looking for opportunity and a bit of adventure in a harsh and unforgiving landscape. This series attempts to capture that spirit. The first image is of the Sonoran Desert, the hottest desert in the United States and home of the giant saguaro cactus The second image is of the Mojave Desert, which is the habitat of the Joshua Tree. The third image is San Xavier Del Bac, a Franciscan mission that has served the native community for nearly 250 years.
