Desert Dunes

Six of my gelatin silver prints (GSP), never before shown, have been selected as part of the mixed media exhibit Desert Dunes. The show runs September 16 – October 24, 2014, at the First Floor Gallery located in the Santa Clarita City Hall (Santa Clarita, California). All of the work is from my Eureka Dunes series taken in a remote district of Death Valley National Park.

"Morning’s shadow recedes from wind sculpted furrows at the isolated and remote Eureka Dunes district of Death Valley National Park. Reaching heights of 800 feet, Eureka Dunes are the tallest naturally occurring dunes in all of California."

"Light and shadow meet along a defining line of demarcation as sloughing sand exceeds the natural angle of repose."

Eureka Dunes #7

"The only evidence of a lizard’s passage is its ephemeral tracks. Leading ever upward to the crest of a dune face, one ponders what it was seeking – prey, the dawn’s warming rays, or perhaps simply a better view."

 

Eureka Dunes #8

"Eureka’s wave of dunes recede into a seemingly endless sea–horizon, bounded by the rogue wave of the Last Chance Mountains."
