This piece combines fantastical desert views, self discovery, and artistic experimentation to create the swirly and otherworldly landscape you see. Experimentation is an important tenet of my artistic process, and this piece encapsulates the process for me. I went into it knowing that I wanted to do something fun with scale in the cacti, and to create the illusion of depth in the desert. I started off my mission of achieving scale by using a winding road, stacking and enlarging the cacti to create depth, and then worked on the sky.
