Well its been a few weeks since my last post but I've come out of the gate with a new series. I call it Dust. It's a series started after a trip to my wife's grand parents home in Prescott, Arizona. We took a side trip one day to a restored ghost town nearby called Jerome. The place had quite a checkered past, full of old west shootouts, claim jumping and gold prospecting, but has now settled into a charming hippie town with, bikers, booze and boutiques. In town there's an old mine “museum”, which is something of a junk yard, that is in a state of permanent decay. It's filled with old cars, farm and mining equipment and dusty shacks with perhaps some nefarious histories. The place was captured in time and a perfect subject for me to explore the process of industrial desiccation. Warm tones, a ruddy palette and a subject steeped in history and dust.
