- Summary
- "Explores the dissolution of Picher, Oklahoma, a historic mining town that is now abandoned. Declared part of the Tar Creek Superfund Site in 1984 and then described as the country's most toxic site, Picher was hit by a tornado in 2008 and sustained widespread destruction, forcing remaining residents to leave. By examining landscapes and physical artifacts, Stewart and Fields combine a series of photographs that document the town's entangled identities with accompanying essays that detail the way memory can become dislocated and reframed by traumatic environmental events"--Provided by publisher.
