Over time, the project shifted its focus to a group of teenage boys coming of age amid the disintegration of their community following the imprisonment of FLDS leader Warren Jeffs in 2011. These young men remained in Short Creek with their families while others chose to leave, navigating a fractured social and spiritual landscape.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"823\" data-end=\"1487\">Spanning five years, <em data-start=\"844\" data-end=\"855\">The Crick<\/em> is a meditation on religious succession, patriarchal systems, zealotry, and fraternity.

Balancing youthfulness and gravity, the series adopts what Mangan describes as an ecological and sociological approach, portraying play, imagination, and survival against the capricious landscapes of the American West, and revealing a closeness to nature increasingly absent from contemporary life.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1564\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usu.edu\/artmuseum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1530\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><br data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"1533\" \/>650 N 1100 E, Logan, UT 84322<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Logan, UtahFebruary 21 \u2013 July 25, 2026 American photographer Jim Mangan began The Crick as a photographic survey of the unorthodox architecture of Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) homes in the Utah\u2013Arizona border town of Short Creek.
