TextThe series illustrates the exploration of contemporary issues including land use, settlement and geography in ways that are unexplored in more traditional landscape photographs. Electricity has illuminated the American West into a visible land amid desolate terrain. Davis' photographs record this cultural landscape, while simultaneously communicating vastness of the American West with a feeling of the sublime.
