Led West examines how the mythology of the American West has been constructed through images, stories, and popular culture. Using small metal cowboy and Indigenous figurines originally loaned by my brother, painter Bradford Overton, the photographs stage scenes within miniature landscapes built from large prints of my Wild America photographs. By combining these childhood objects with monumental Western landscapes, the work explores how narratives of frontier conflict and heroism are shaped and reimagined through visual culture. Suspended between play, history, and invention, the images reveal how the myth of the West continues to be authored long after the events it claims to depict.
