Robert Bailey (PhD 2012) presented an artist talk regarding his collaborative installation with photographer Todd Stewart titled In Progress. Bailey and Stewart began a research-based collaboration in 2015 that combines artistic and scholarly approaches to explore human traces on the land. Focused on themes including colonial history, scientific method, resource extraction, and artful craftiness, Bailey’s texts supply a complex apparatus for drawing connections with Stewart’s array of similarly themed images that address the contemporary shapes taken by thoughts and actions long ongoing in the American West.
