Beskrivning

The landscape of the Navajo Nation is in the grip of dramatic transformation. Sand dune migration has led to drought and 191 horses have been found drowned in a stock pond filled with mud.Opening with a meditation on this loss, Horses is an electric response to crisis: a reclamation of land, imagination and language; a fierce act of protest; and a song for the beauty of nature. It evokes both the end of a world and a sense of emergence amid chaos, a new dawn flickering on the horizon.Somewhere in a dune fieldI am hunched over like a commastudying the way a landfillcan be mistaken for a sky

Recensioner i media

'Skeets challenges toxic masculinity with a queer coming-of-age narrative that’s knowingly reminiscent of D.A. Powell’s “Useless Landscape, or a Guide for Boys” - but distinctly oriented within Navajo culture and the landscape of Gallup.'
