I'm here! I've actually been here for two nights but have just figured out the internet situation. This is the little house that my grandparents built in 1976. The first night was interesting...getting used to being alone in the quiet. I have many memories of Radium Springs, shaped by visits to my grandparents' other house and the stories I've heard about growing up in this distant place. This was the first time I drove myself out here, every other trip was seen from the backseat. I realized that this project, for me, is going to be a lot about home and origin and the landscape to which one belongs. I'm returning to New Mexico to study and to navigate and map my home.
"Each of us belongs to a particular landscape, one that informs who we are, a place that carries our history, our dreams, holds us to a moral line of behavior that transcends thought." - Terry Tempest Williams
