Sunspots Monoprints (2021)

There are 139 monoprints in this series. Each 5x7,” ink on paper, 2020.

I started making these prints during lockdown in fall 2020 in Los Angeles. I had been thinking about the people I had met during my travels in the production of BUNKER and also about the steel panel in the ground hiding an underground bunker I had seen out in Landers, California. There is a photograph of that heavy steel plate as the anchor image for the photo series “100 Seconds to Midnight.”

I was interested in the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper that Ed Peden had told me when I was visiting him in his subterranean New Age missile silo outside Topeka Kansas for the film BUNKER. But I also wanted to make images of creatures that lived close to the ground in the desert outside of Los Angeles. So I chose the Gambel’s Quail, which stays earthbound to hide and shelter its young. I made monoprints of the desert grasshopper, the harvester ant, Gambel’s Quail and the steel panel in the desert landscape. Over and over again.

Later, in January 2021 during a residency at BOXOProjects in Joshua Tree, I came back to these monoprints and included them in my film Sunspots (2021).
