Vice

2026

A surreal tableau presents a wolf standing upright in a vintage convertible Chevrolet, positioned alongside a woman in period costume, set against a dramatic desert landscape punctuated by towering rock formations. The composition, rendered in crisp black and white, draws from classical Americana iconography while introducing an element of darkly comedic absurdity through the animal's incongruous presence. Shot with Yarrow's characteristic precision and large format clarity, the image balances documentary realism with conceptual artifice, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of nature, human desire, and cultural mythology. The vast desert setting and overcast sky amplify the work's austere, almost cinematic quality, while the procession of vehicles visible in the background extends the narrative's ambiguous scope. Yarrow's signature approach to wildlife and landscape materiality transforms a seemingly impossible moment into a formally composed meditation on transgression and spectacle.
