The Great Alone Joy Wulke visited the Bear Creek School House in Two Dot, Montana for over twenty two years, 1983-2003, documenting the small building as it moved toward the balance between the built environment and nature . It is a study of light. The shadow and light patterns reveal increasingly complex patterns projected through the slowly changing infrastructure. The sunlight is guided in some images by the inclusion of translucent silk panels and others by gathered bones found around the building, which is located on a 136,000 acre working cattle ranch. The silk captures the wind as well as light and shadow and the bones seem to absorb then project the light. Wulke has occupied the school house absorbing the spirits of those who built and occupied it. She perceives the building as a living/animistic character sharing its strength and vulnerabilities through its graceful return to the exiting landscape nearly 100 years after it was built. These images appear as animistic ancestors speaking to us about hope and memory, the transitions in the cycle of all life.
