About the Work

'Today, I gazed upon the Oklahoma plain, felt the wind blowing upon my chest. The same breeze that, in years gone by, touched the faces of the Comanche and the Cheyenne...' Commissioned by White Snake Projects for their acclaimed 'Incarcerated Voices' project, El Reno sets poetic reflections on imprisonment, memory, and the enduring horizon of the open prairie.
