Palm Springs & the California Desert

A Joshua tree from Joshua Tree National Park, painted against a blue sky, fills the right side of this layered composition, while the left is built from rectangles of ochre and green, map fragments, handwriting and a dark photographic image of rocks. Stenciled words, YUCCA BREVIFOLIA, JOSHUA TREE and ECOSYSTEM, run across and down the surface.
