Farmer's Almanac Series
Solo Show
“To Feast On Clouds” Sullivan Goss Gallery, Santa Barbara
July 28th-September 25th, 2023
This series is shaped by my time as resident artist on the White Buffalo Land Trust's Jalama Canyon Ranch. The organization practices and fosters regenerative farming methods.
Many of these practices can be traced to older farming methods before the advent of corporate farming. The gouache vignettes are painted on 1866 Farmer's Almanac pages that were reproduced on water color paper. The almanac page then floats on top of a cyanotype that has botanicals sourced from the ranch and photographs that look like they could be from another time.
You can purchase the catalog that accompanies the To Feast On Clouds exhibition here.
