MAGIC AND REALISM
Need a fresh perspective on things? Join me in my alternative (processes) reality, as my exhibition Magic and Realism opens at the Lancaster Museum of Art & History on Saturday, January 25, 2-4pm (thru April 13). My second solo show at the museum presents a broad selection of pinhole and infrared work including recent multispectral exposures that combine visual spectrum and infrared light in-camera to evoke parallel realities just beyond human perception. MOAH is publishing a monograph of work from my two museum shows.

Much appreciation to Corporación Cultural SACO for my 5-week summer residency in Chile's Atacama Desert. The resulting photographs and video will be included in Antofagasta's Semana de Arte Contemporáneo biannale curated by Dagmara Wyskiel next June. I'm also grateful to ART1307 for my just-completed, 6-week artist residency in Naples, Italy, with new work to be featured in Occhi sulla città (Eyes Over the City) curated by Cynthia Penna next November. Behold the stunning view I enjoyed from just outside the ART1307 residence:

It's also been a productive year for High & Dry with three glorious, new dispatches syndicated as always on PBS SoCal. Writer Jack Eidt and I are at work on a story comparing lithium extraction plans at California's Salton Sea with large-scale operations already underway in the Atacama Desert.
Finally, the new, never seen pinhole series Persistent Cowboy is now available as unique (1 of 1) prints on metallic fine art paper. A continuation of the nearly sold out Persistence of Being series, the self-portrait was captured at MOAH, just steps from the site of the upcoming show. Love a full circle moment!
