“The American West is the playground for the country's obsession with exploitation and destruction, with most extractive economies near Native American reservations. There are increased rates of birth defects, higher rates of cancer. Violent people who mimc the violence done to the land.”

“I wanted to be that open with others. Be able to express myself without fear. Spare emotions fester in a landscape where the only way capitalism has made sense of the American West is to fence it in. Break it into 160-acre parcels. Frack, mine, dam, and cut it to a stubble.”

“The prairie I grew up on teaches you to notice, to pay attention. The yolk of the sun as it slides across the dome of the sky streaking the world orange and indigo. The swish of grass in afternoon breeze. The screech of a grackle. During the Golden hour on the prairie, the North Dakota palette reveals the subtle differences between ochre, umber, and sienna.”
