During the seven-week Joshua Tree Highlands Artist Residency, I logged over 6,000 miles in a rental car. I drove all over the Inland Empire exploring palm tree farms and ghost towns. I traversed Joshua Tree National Park and the Morongo Basin where I observed a rapidly changing physical and cultural landscape. The experience of creating this body of work was incredibly important to me as I am from California and felt a renewed connection with landscapes that felt like home.
I’m currently socially distancing myself in my new home in Austin, Texas where my partner Madelyn and I are rearranging furniture, manicuring our yard, and trying to make our space feel as comforting as possible during these strange times. As many of us are thinking about how to improve and revitalize our homes, I thought it would be a great time to share some prints that I have ready to ship—all they need is an empty wall to fill. All images are an edition of 10 and come mounted on gator foam. My artist statement can be seen here.
If you’re interested in any of these images or if you’d like to know more information about a specific print, send me an email. I intentionally made much of this series with pairs of images in mind. If you’re interested in more than one print I’d be happy to work something out so they can stay together.
