“The Wild West” by Amy Guidry on the cover of the Minetta Review<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My painting, The Wild West<\/em>, is on the cover of the latest issue of the Minetta Review.\u00a0 The Fall\/Winter issue just came out and a digital version is now online at: https:\/\/issuu.com\/minetta\/docs\/f2016_minetta_mag_final_for_issuu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In The Wild West<\/em><\/a>, a skeletal horse and human hybrid, suggesting our practices of genetic manipulation, serves as a grim tale of foreboding.\u00a0 The skeleton, the horse skull, and the desert are symbols of cowboys and typical Western imagery.\u00a0 Television Westerns would typically portray life as good vs. bad, when in reality, the land, environment, people, and animals were all seen as a means to an end.\u00a0 The title refers to how the U.S., itself a part of the western hemisphere, is still taking over land, animals, and resources to this day, creating desert landscapes via clear-cutting and global warming.<\/p>\n
