InquireArtist Journal Entry:
"This artwork here is called Leather & Steel. It's a photograph dedicated to the Western lifestyle and the modern-day cowboy. This image was captured on a ranch just outside of Stephenville, TX. I set up a black fabric backdrop and wanted to focus on a clean composition that represents the iconic western saddle. A symbol and tool that the world immediately recognizes alongside the image of a cowboy. The old leather full of scuffs and tears from years of hard work on the land is met with the tough steel that helps keep everything together. Etches in the stirrups hold stories and memories that are passed down from generations. A lifestyle that isn't dead but is evolving and will continue to push on through the fast-paced technological times we live in. To those of you who continue to work the land and help provide food for this nation, my hat is off to you. This artwork is dedicated to each and every one of you and I hope it shares a story we can all relate to or find joy in."
