Her journey took her through the states of Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. It also took her through the states of anxiety, drunkenness, disorientation, and heat exhaustion. \u003ci\u003eSpiral Jetta\u003c\/i\u003e is a chronicle of this journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA lapsed art historian and devoted urbanite, Hogan initially sought firsthand experience of the monumental earthworks of the 1970s and the 1980s—Robert Smithson’s \u003ci\u003eSpiral Jetty\u003c\/i\u003e, Nancy Holt’s \u003ci\u003eSun Tunnels\u003c\/i\u003e, Walter De Maria’s \u003ci\u003eLightning Field\u003c\/i\u003e, James Turrell’s \u003ci\u003eRoden Crater\u003c\/i\u003e, Michael Heizer’s \u003ci\u003eDouble Negative\u003c\/i\u003e, and the contemporary art mecca of Marfa, Texas.
