"This entire project is then further coloured by an engagement with the occult and is one that is as preoccupied with excavating the past as it is with recoding the present". (Coverley 2006:14)

"It is time to ruralize our thinking". (Krause 2013:243)

Out West is a visual travelogue documenting rural communities in the Canadian west. Over a hundred communities of between six and 1,000 inhabitants were documented. The project offers a version of the current state of affairs in the Canadian West, exploring how rural spaces experience an urban-rural time lag. The images conjure up a Vonnegut-like idea of being "unstuck in time", where objects and the built landscape deceive the viewer as to what period they belong too.
