dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines the concepts that inform Neo-Pastoral (Figure 1), a body of work by John Daniel Walters. The primary work is a triptych of optically altered sculptures that serve as a biography for the neo-pastoral culture of the American Midwest. As a nation deeply embedded in technological infrastructure and practice, the notion of an escape to a bucolic ideal has been surpassed by our access and manipulation of the earth’s landscape. The objects in the body of work illustrate a form of technological determinism that is defining the middle landscape of the 21st century. Construction of the work supports the underlying concepts by using a wide range of materials and process, each of which represents a key component in present-day land management.en_US
