2017
Inside the Owens Valley: An Interview with Tani Tatum Tani Tatum talks about her experience as a rancher and how the challenges of maintaining land in the Owens Valley have changed since her family first established the Dixon Ranch in Bishop, California, in 1865. Tani also tells the story of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) factory (1928–68), built on the edge of the Owens Valley dry lakebed. Left abandoned after flooding, PPG was bought by heart surgeon Dr. McCabe and eventually inherited by Tani. Since 2008, her collaborative friendship with Lauren Bon and Metabolic Studio has reactivated PPG.
