REBECCA NORRIS WEB: “My Dakota”
— A project that began in 2005, Rebecca Norris Webb, originally a poet, set out to photograph her home state of South Dakota. It is a landscape dominated by space and silence and solitude, by brutal wind and extreme weather. The artist says, “A year into the project, however, everything changed. One of my brothers died unexpectedly. It seemed all I could do was drive through the badlands and prairies and photograph. I began to wonder: Does loss have its own geography?”
