In the late 70’s my parents moved to Montana to start their family where the settled in a sheep herder’s out building with no running water and a single light bulb. These images are an attempt to visualize and recreate this time period, when my family’s story mixed with the myths of the American West.
These images show well known references of Western life like cowboys and teepees, and more referential portraits of small town life like the hillside sign of a near by town, as well as, women who stand in for my mother against the wild Montana sky.
The title of the work is in reference to my last name d’Autremont, which means "of the other mountain."
