OBJECTIVE: I completed a mood study of the historical and ecological layers of Deer Creek State Park, Utah. Examining the culturally signifi cant features of the site and how they join to create a complex and dynamic landscape.
The makeup of the landscape includes Tate Barn - a remnant of early European colonization, Mount Timpanogos and the wet grasslands, which are critical to the Ute peoples’ myth making and resource gathering and a 19th century rail line symbolizing the fi rst meaningful connection of Salt Lake City with the continental U.S.

The reservoir, wet grasslands, willow groves, rail lines, Tate Barn and Mount Timpanogos make up the fabric of the landscape
