Barton Creek Country Club, Fazio course 18th hole, Austin TX

McAuley's photographs of elaborately manicured golf courses lure you into looking at them in two different ways. These dazzling, color-saturated panoramas focus on the seam where man-made landscapes have been patched or grafted onto their natural surroundings. It seems as if you're looking at two opposed world orders, one cultural, one natural. His best works give shape to an almost otherworldly weirdness, a disquieting sense that human beings might already be alien intruders in the Edenic world they've constructed.
