Be Still and Grow

Examining the cycle of life and death, Be Still and Grow is a photography based, multimedia art project where the Mojave Desert's Yucca brevifolia, commonly known as the Joshua tree, is the main point of inquiry. Using the concept of time as a key component in my artistic process, I incorporate large format photographic still imagery, time-lapse based video techniques, and site specific sound recordings to create an all-encompassing body of work that solicits contemplation and warrants a cognitive yet visceral response from the audience.
