Sunday was the last activation of my 2019 artist residency at the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve. Despite the rain, a number of people came out to be captured by an instant camera against a desert backdrop. And then to create individualized frames for the photos.
Options for decorating the frames included many vintage materials I have been collecting for years for use in my artwork. It also included fun contemporary items such as tiny pompoms and pens for drawing, both on the frames and the photographs.
This time, as with all the other activations, I was inspired by the creativity that each of the participants displayed, and how each work of art was so unique to each individual. Some people made their artworks into a picture for the wall. Others made them into ornaments for the tree. But each child and adult went away with a smile.
This is been so much fun. Check out the pics!
