Bone Wood Alpaca

People and landscape in the high Peruvian Andes

Sponsored by a Larson International Fellowship from Carleton College, Bone Wood Alpaca is an exploration of people and lanscape between 9,000 and 19,000 feet in the Peruvian Andes. The images and written vignettes form a journal that addresses the complicated relationship between physical and cultural landscape.

Completed in 2001, this project marked the first collaboration between Sara Joy Steele and Benj Drummond. The material was presented as a multimedia presentation and hand-bound book, and featured in the Carleton Voice alumni magazine.
