These are from a series I’ve been casually working on for the last couple of years in Oregon. My original intent was a theme of Oregon Gothic – the South and New England have their versions, and I want the West to have it’s. This theme unintentionally colluded with a theme of people vs nature, specifically revealing natures quiet fortitude, as even in the violence of the shot coyote nature seems to prevail. This conflict, struggle, and erosion are maybe defining terms of the Gothic here.
