This series, begun after an artist residency at Dorland Mountain Arts Colony near Temecula, CA., was a response to the landscape and architecture of Southern California. My interest in Brutalist architecture with the simplicity of materials and earthy sensibilities was renewed through these explorations. As the homeless crisis in our world continues, dramatically inflated by new wars and migrations, they have come to be meditations on protective landscape like caves and cliffs.
