CHOLLA SKELETON REGENERATION
The installation of altered cholla skeletons represent the artist working to collaborate with nature as an act of preservation and protection. The “skeletons” were gathered from around the artist’s property in Morongo Valley and are symbolically regenerated using wire cloth and cotton and recycled paper fiber to reinforce and extend the forms. These additions strengthen and protect the unique branch structures, exploring the remarkable forms that nature generates in our desert.
