The west is burning
March 2 - March 30, 2012
Yosemite National Park, California
"I photographed this prescribed butn in Yosemite on a moonless night in which only the flames provided any sense of illumination. Prescribed burns mimic the 16,000 acres the park should lose to wildfires each year. At night, the atmosphere is surreal."
ARTLAB will have one studio available February 1st.

Opening Reception: Friday, March 2nd, 5-8pm
SCA Contemporary Art is extremely pleased to bring this exhibition of large scale photographs to Albuquerque. The West Is Burning focuses on wildfires in the Western US. Included in this collection is a survey of sites from Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. The series has thus far yielded over eighty individual locations in nine states and eventually all land west of the plains as well as British Columbia and Alaska will be included in the finished body of work.
The series is captured with an 8"x10" view camera and the work will be shown in exquisite 24" x 30" prints.
The work of this artist can be viewed on Thursdays and Fridays from 12-5pm & by appointment.
Please call 505.228.3749 for details.
