With sculptures made of assorted relics, ruins, shedded snake skins and organic matter, the show creates the atmosphere of a fantasy encampment against a desert backdrop in Utah. As evoked in the press text: “The dry wind sings from another age: a drifting cinder, the echo of a hundred fires wakened by the barking of dogs, buried now in soot.”**
