Desert soil is sandy, coarse and parched but it is also filled with a determination and positive energy that is palpable. It holds firmly to the resilient life that manages to thrive despite the harsh conditions. It’s compelling and inspiring to see the wild things that dwell here. The stark beauty of this place calls for respect of all life, that manages to endure in the inhospitable heat and dryness. The earth exudes faded tones, and richly textured grooves and divots that share timeless stories of growth and strength. “Bare Earth” was painted as a tribute to this story and was created with earth pigments, rain water, wood ash and paint.
