Shawn Bush鈥檚 work appropriates and reconstructs tropes of popular American culture to reflect the fallacy of Western influence within its own domain. By focusing on media trends and the dissemination of unconscious ideologies, he uses the authority of prescriptive media as a blueprint for deconstructing the standards it represents. Bush鈥檚 color photographs of boundless Western landscapes reveal the new West鈥檚 current identity鈥o longer glamorized or idealized, Bush鈥檚 new West is ripe in pop culture and Americana.
