Peter deLory

Peter de Lory examines the great American West and the subsequent narratives that have been incorporated through images of it. In a triptych format, de Lory is able to form a link between the past and present through imagery and symbols. This visual metaphor explores our ideological and physical footprint in the West from pioneers, cowboys, homesteaders, trappers, miners, loggers and environmentalists and creates a narrative that is applicable to understanding the complexity of the western predicament.
