Wendover, Utah. West Wendover, Nevada. A place of extremes and opposites. Dead flat desert valley surrounded by towering mountains. Two hours straight shot from the great Mormon enclave of Salt Lake City, Wendover is an old military and mining town. West Wendover is casino town. We arrive to find the salt flats flooded. This means no driving out on the salt flats, the wet salt is a tan color instead of the bright white canvas we had planned for. In fact, most of our ideas for this residency must now be scrapped as they all centered around this open expanse of whiteness. But its substitute is perhaps equally intriguing. Sky meets sky in seamless expansion.
