god's country monumentalizes tumbleweeds to question the mythology of the American frontier and its lasting impact on contemporary land use. Introduced to North America in the 1870s from the Russian Empire, the tumbleweed spread rapidly across the continent and became a symbol of the American West through popular culture. While often romanticized, the tumbleweed reflects the unintended consequences of expansion in the American West, where suburban sprawl continues to encroach on natural landscapes under the guise of progress. This work includes a single-channel video consisting of a documented performance of the gathering of the tumbleweeds included in the sculptural work juxtaposed with clips from movies and TV.
