First freeze in the canyon last night. Winter birds are here.
Orange & yellow leaves on the riparian trees sitting at the bottom of a tight canyon in the Sandia foothills among brush and boulders. Yellow flowers adorn chamisa with an adobe cabin nehind then among the boulders and a bright blue sky of the Sandia foothills.

Small dried golden brown chamisa petals in sharp midrange focus in a sea of blur. In the late summer of 2011, I walked for days through fields & along the roadway by my home, one of the remaining small sections of Route 66. I was collecting the tiny dried brown blossoms of the chamisa flower. I had in mind to use them in some handmade papers, made by my niece who is a wonderful hand-crafted book artist. It took almost three weeks with a Croghan folding camp saw, used as a thresher, allowing the petals & some twigs to fall into large freezer bags. Needless to say, there were a lot of people along old Route 66 craning their necks trying to figure out what I was doing as they sped by in Time. This image was made at that same time to accompany the actual suspended petals in an assemblage/collage. I was working on a series of digital composite images at the time called “Vestiges.” It was one of the most fun in years, for I could use most any imagery I wanted that was in the public domain. It was in the realm of photo-montage & in actuality was all digital. I began with a base idea of using film negatives from all eras of photographic and filmic history, welded into a mindstream, a nearly visible “current” which was streaming the small image past you. As a paired series forms in my mind, I planned to use handmade paper as both a substrate & torn materials combined with many of the film images in the digitally produced “vestiges” works. The chamisa flowers were meant for that purpose. While I did ship some large bags to Birmingham to my niece & a few weeks later received about 40 sheets of incredibly intriguing chamisa paper back, I never went forward with the sandwiched collages. A move to Arizona was emerging & all things began to gravitate in that direction. The “Vestiges” works gave birth to the Hybrid series, as did the “Chamisa Collage” works, which both are still on the idea planks of my mind for weaving together in a similar fashion in a year or so.
