This is the piece I've been working on. I'm just about finished. Its sort of another interpretation of the Organ Mountains. I've started driving around Las Cruces and the only way I know where I'm going is by looking for the mountains.
I also went on a hike today with my grandparents, looking for petroglyphs that we heard about near Tonuco Peak. We didn't find any petroglyphs but we did find lots of rocks and bones and even some rabbit tails... I've been thinking about how well things are preserved in the desert, freezing time. I have some ideas for an additional work...I'll post some photos as that develops. Anyways, lunch in Hatch for world famous green chile and barbecue was delicious! This weekend I'll be in Silver City and Deming.
The Organs always helped me with directions too. I missed them when we moved to New York.
ReplyDeleteMemorable days -- a perfectly preserved cicada, "petrified peanut butter", and lots of wind and dust. So glad you are here.....
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are here. I love watching your work progress!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if I could see a few close up shots. If not, no big deal. I really love the colors. Very pleasant to the eye. I would love to see the finished piece! Keep up the good work!

The Organs were like a compass to me, too, except that I used to think they were to the North! Sort of a "the Earth is the center of the universe" sort of mistake. I got myself straightened out once I started driving back and forth between Albuquerque and Las Cruces while attending UNM.
ReplyDeleteI love your artwork, Hannah. I'd love to see it up close!
