Shot over the last three years, Hallock is gracefully moving towards a more thoughtful and arresting oeuvre that commands authority. Multiple weekend, seasonal and off-hour excursions made by the artist unveil a landscape that is rough, elegant, darkly humorous and strange, evoking multiple feelings that touch on the viewers notions of our history, place and how they relate to the present. The photographs in "The West is Here" are quite natural and beautiful, Hallock composing in a more straightforward manner that eschews some of the routes previously taken to make a poignant statement but enhances her reputation further as an artist of great depth.
