Swim out into the Pacific and look back to the shore. To the couple
kissing in the hot afternoon, and the young girl rollerskating along
the front, and the family setting up camp on the soft, warm sand. To
the blues and yellows and pinks of fierce, determined revelry. Santa
Monica, where the wooden pier juts out into the Pacific Ocean, marks
the end of Route 66. The great American journey west culminates here,
and it is on this short stretch of coast that Sarah Lee began shooting
her photographic series in 2015. In West of West Sarah Lee and Laura
Barton explore the idea of the West in shaping American identity, with
its idealism and notions of the frontier, and what the American West
means in an age of political turbulence, when the East is the rising
global force and the frontier is shifting once more.
