Mojave with Shadow (detail), 2016. This was the first gouache work I did consciously revisiting the desert landscape of my childhood. Ironically, as realistic shadows became more important in the work, the figurative shadow became a less powerful thing. I’m off to the desert this week, to hike among the ruddy rocks and enjoy the unfriendly desert flora.
