Imminent

I've been playing around with composite image making, layering and altering photographs from my trips to visit the wild horses. I find the process helps me make sense of the many layers of meaning found in the juxtaposition of wild animal, nature, and the effects of industry.

This composition is inspired by the wildfire evacuations that have been so frequent this spring. The image of the refinery was taken on May 30, 2019; the day an air quality advisory turned our sky a thick yellow-orange from smoke. I've titled it 'Imminent.'
