Exhibition Label: "Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer “There’s something about the desert that doesn’t like man, something that mocks his nesting instinct and makes his constructions look feeble and temporary. Yet it’s just that inhospitableness that endears the arid rockiness, the places pointy and poisonous to men looking for its discipline.” William Least Heat-Moon, Blue Highways, 1983
