The cinematographic quality and extreme weather of the Mojave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan desert have inspired the collection Desert Diary.
The classic shapes of midcentury architecture, the distinctive signage; it often feels familiar, like a place you know, but have only seen in a movie. I have travelled these deserts for many years, and no road trip or scenery ever feel the same because of the constantly changing light and shapes of the landscape; the deserted architecture and signs left behind are like a reminder of transience.
These images are the result of my travels through the American desert.
