Case of The Nomads Residency in Joshua Tree National Park

Last month I was selected as the inaugural resident artist for the new Case of The Nomads residency in Joshua Tree National Park, and I'm happy to report that I have just returned from southern California! After a week of living off the grid and making work responding to the harsh conditions I found myself in, it feels bittersweet to be home.  I'm not going to say that I "found myself" in the desert, but I definitely emerged out of it a better artist than I was before.  Certainly a much sandier artist than I was before, in any case.

There currently is a digital exhibition and write up featuring pieces I made in Joshua Tree in the works, with a tentative release date of within the month.  It will be featured on crafthaus, and I couldn't be more excited.  I will keep everyone updated when it's available for viewing!
