Title: Flyover Country
Artist: Susan James
Medium: Polymer photogravure
Subject Matter: "Flyover Country" captures a serene moment of coexistence within the Onaqui herd, observed on the Utah desert steppe in May 2025. This polymer photogravure isolates the essential, enduring rhythm of the herd's daily life: the quiet, synchronized grazing that defines their survival. With a mare and foal nestled among the band and two birds in flight above, the scene represents the deep historical continuity of a native species that originally evolved on this continent millions of years ago. The title reclaims the term "Flyover Country," presenting the vast interior of the American West not as an oversight, but as an essential sanctuary.
