“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.” – Louis L’Amour

Retracing a trail they know well, Felice House and Dana Younger scan the horizon of the western genre. Looking up, they see awe-inspiring vistas and the stories foundational to western culture — the wide sky, the far ridge, the rider silhouetted against it. These are the images we were handed before we ever set foot on the land ourselves, and they still hold. Looking down, they see reality on the ground: the tangled chaos of desert tenacity and human residue, the low scrub and hard light, the wrappers and cans and cast-off plastic that outlast every one of us. Neither view cancels the other out. The land holds both at once, and so do the stories we tell about it.

The gallery invites the public to the opening reception of Yesterday’s Luck on Saturday, August 1st from 4-7pm. Come celebrate this striking exploration of the shifting West and examine how these two artists reimagine the legends and landscapes that define the region.
