"By photographing across rather than down the roads I show them as part of the landscape rather than in the more conventional way: as a means for travelling through it. From this point of view the prairie landscape naturally renders itself in to a series of horizontal lines. Formally, I see them as reminiscent of a modern painting constructed with bold horizontal lines - which seems appropriate since they are a view of the modern prairie. The landscape and the art were probably shaped by many of the same human forces" - Eric Fredine
