Goals
In this imagined Western, artist John Randall Nelson presents a visual dialogue that weaves together an assortment of Old West memes and tropes. The messages here are associative and emblematic, collectively they present a stream of consciousness recollection of childhood folk tales while exploring the shifting role of the subconscious self against the backdrop of cowboy folklore and desert imagery.
