| Physical Description: | Print "Bison Stack Crane," Artist Proof. Archival pigment print of a a stack of bison skulls with a large crane towering above it. |
| Description: | Bison Stack Crane ties the mass slaughter of the bison, and systematic removal of native peoples from their lands, to current continuing trends of rapid redevelopment and displacement of people and animals in many of America's major urban centers. The imagery adds layers of meaning to an unattributed photograph from the mid-1870s, where two settlers are shown atop and before a mountain of bison skulls. In Bison Stack Crane, the men are removed and replaced by a more contemporary symbol of irresponsible development and displacement; the tower crane. |
