==== dust & shadow - field trip #1 ====

May/June 02017 by FoAM.Earth

Guests: Nik Gaffney and Maja Kuzmanovic (FoAM)\\
Hosts: Ron Broglio, Adam Nocek, Stacey Moran, Sha Xin Wei (ASU)\\


<blockquote>We arrived in the Sonoran desert. A place of desiccated time, layered time, geological, vegetal, human time. Time kneads the Earth’s crust into deep folds, cracks and canyons. Plants lay dormant through cycles of drought or grow slowly for centuries, bursting into blossom after the first rains. Humans come and go. Blown through the ages like tumbleweeds. Things don’t really decay here. They shrivel, dry up or slowly rust, yet remain present, as they gradually erode into dust. A thick, dusty atmosphere of things that were, things that are and things that might be. Densities and intensities coagulating on a larger than human scale, illuminated by stark light or lurking in the deep shadow. </blockquote>
