Gathering and Forming

Artwork ID# 2306-31626-8

In Escalante-Grand Staircase National Monument the rising sun sets fire to a desert pool of water and tumbleweed as ice begins to form on its surface. The shapes of the tumbleweed, and its place atop liquid water being turned into a solid yet fragile texture across the reflections of sunrise painted clouds simply stopped me. The first unforeseen gift of a new day.
