Energy Despoiler
When I read an article about the Solar farms being built in the Mohave desert this idea immediately materialized in my mind. I found a discarded frame and began to paint and assemble the image with other discarded items I gathered. It was very important for me to use as many discarded items as I could in this piece because that is part of the statement. We destroy, build, use, and then destroy more and discard things despite the impact they have on the environment and the other things relying on the same spaces and resources.

What is the inspiration behind your piece?
Destruction of habitat in the Mohave Desert to build solar farms brought this idea to my imagination. It disturbed me they would destroy the habitat of species already struggling to survive, like the Joshua Trees. It is a nightmare for those living things to have their environment ravaged, their energy sacrificed to bring electrical energy to people far away. My dreamscape is not a happy one.
