Located on the western side of the Great Salt Lake, much of the West Desert, the ancestral home of the Goshute people, is managed by the Bureau of Land Management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe area is classified by the US Federal Government as 'public lands' yet significant acreage is privately leased for mining and cattle ranching and nearly one-third of the area is used as biological and chemical weapons testing grounds. The lake is rapidly drying up due to overuse and human-caused ecological change--threatening millions of migratory birds and the population of Salt Lake City. The remaining areas are open to various uses, including improvised gun ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe motif of the color blaze orange is dispersed throughout the book as a nod to the most conspicuous type of debris found in the West Desert ranges--blaze orange clay pigeons. These aerial targets are painted this color to ensure they stand out against the sky on a clear day and against a natural landscape. A color created to oppose nature, not to be confused with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJaclyn Wright is an American multi-disciplinary artist.
