OILFIELDS, 2004

Oilfields connotes both the notion of the frontier and the adventurous mentality of the West, and a kind of horizontal understanding of landscape that is so quintessential about the West. While it circumscribes the West's idiosyncratic historical and physical manifestations, it also stands for a concept that is slowly fading into the past as a new era emerges.
