Crossing, Vekol Ridge





El Gran Desierto:

Crossings

 

When you pack a view camera
into the desert alone
you make a choice between weight and water.

What is important to me as an artist is the wandering...
what I bring back are these photographs.

 
 
 Spur, Aztec Hills  Pool and palms, Gila Bend  Mine, Ajo Diesel, Gila Bend   Four saguaros, Vekol Ridge  Fallen ordenance, BMG Range  Sheep glyph, Vekol Ridge  Barrel ties, Spot Road  Tree, Davis Plain  Cipriano Pass, From Tinajas Altas Water tank and ammo, Aztec Hills  Anthills, Mohawk Wash  Stone and shadow, Butler Mountains

These images were made during solitary walks in El Gran Desierto at the border of the desert southwest and Mexico. The Southwest Center at the University of Arizona has recocognized this work with a fellowship to record what is here at the turn of this century in the hope that this does not become a record of what we have lost.
