In American Spirit, Roe Ethridge presents an unabashedly gorgeous collection of mountainous vistas and meta-advertising spreads that riff on the name of the eponymous cigarette brand. Wide-open views of Western peaks are interspersed with close-shot portraits, still lifes and consumer imagery: a Manifest Destiny atlas for the post-internet era.
