Sleeping, highway noises.The sunlight slid across the surface of the wildyellow grass.The wild space, the sky.There was a storefront for rent in a small town. Road Noise is a collection of three short works exploring the mass, texture, and character of the American landscape. The title work, "Road Noise," is an incantatory tribute to the open road, a tour of the wide, wild West. "Marine" considers the westernmost edge of the continent-specifically, the maritime commerce of a Pacific Northwest port town-and that fateful point of contact between the land and the sea. "Memory Exercise" explores the intimate overlay of landscape, memory and music. Road Noise is the first in a new series of artist books to be published by Holly Myers through then/and publications. These works combine images and text to explore ideas, impressions and themes in their raw state. The series is intended to serve as a fluid compositional space, intuitive and open to spontaneity.
