Sionna, 2024

Sometimes I do this. I design this whole shoot that takes advantage of colors, or wardrobe, or the way I chose the backdrop in the setting, and then the first image I share really doesn’t show any of that. I just remember developing this image and immediately being drawn to it. So no, you can’t see the yellow of the lemons, or the green stems of the gladiolus. I perfectly hid the edges of backdrop which I purposely often shot this day. I loved the contrast of the black, the way everything feels, cool, soft, and gentle. But right in the center of this image is that powerful right arm, almost like Sionna is flexing.

After sunset, the bobcat (Lynx rufus) woke up, walked out followed by rolling on the ground and stretching. Then it walked right up to me, just to the other side of the hedge between us, and peeked through it at me, too close for photos. Sweetwater Wetlands, Tucson, Arizona, USA. 24 January 2019. COTH

@desertreak, and @silverwilddesign 2023

For various reasons mortality influenced a lot of the work I made in 2023, at times I planned shoots unrelated to just to give myself a break. But everything was leading up to this shoot. The concept of what gets left behind on earth was very present in my mind. I think the first element I knew I needed was the cholla skeleton, then I thought how interesting it would be to pair that with seashells from the Salish Sea, the tulle was a textural choice that was rooted in funeral veils. But those are just objects, @desertfreak and @silverwilddesign were the final piece to this project, they were more than what you see in the images, they were true collaborators helping build this entire concept.
