Late Twentieth-Century Landscapes
David T. Hanson
"Since the early 1980s, my photographic work and mixed-media installations have investigated the contemporary American landscape as it reflects our culture and its most constructive and destructive energies. These works explore a broad range of American environments, from mines and power plants to military installations, hazardous waste sites, and industrial and agricultural landscapes, examining the relationship of humans with their environment in the late twentieth century. Beginning with the series Colstrip, Montana, and continuing through Minuteman Missile Sites,Waste Land, and “The Treasure State”: Montana 1889–1989, these four bodies of work begin to reveal an entire pattern of terrain transformed by human beings to serve their needs. They become, finally, meditations on a ravaged landscape."
