ART
the desert is my ocean floor
Complementary to my previous Waterworld series of paintings, these photographs represent the return to my first home in the desert lands. My Futures video for Transformer’s Evoking the Senses exhibition and programming conveys my mirroring of the vast ocean and remote desert. I find myself going full circle and returning to my early love of analog photography and film processing. The 35mm film I shot was pre-soaked in “film soup” chemistry allowing organic shapes and waving lines to interact with the captured imagery. Together they evoke otherworldly or underwater scenes with whimsical plantlife. I hope my images can inspire efforts to conserve and protect the desert lands.
