Fine Art Photography

Monument

This project was included in the Queer Spectra Arts Festival (2020)




These photographs use the figure of homosexual men to depict famous Utah landscapes, including those from Arches National Park, Goblin Valley State Park, and slot canyons. These regional images consider how humans and Earth shape each other, and the relationship between gender and sexual minorities and the Beehive State.

These photos were taken within Iron and Washington Counties on Utah’s public lands.
