Joshua Tree National Park management is pleased to announce a new art exhibition by former Mojave National Preserve Artist-in-Residence, Dani Dodge. Embracing the Incarnate is inspired by Dodge’s study of Joshua trees at Mojave National Preserve between 2018 and 2021. The show artistically embodies the joy of the majestic trees, the devastation from the 2020 Dome Fire, and the glimmer of hope from their potential recovery and restoration.
Dodge spent the years of her residency documenting the trees with photographs which then progressed into multimedia layered images in their final exhibited form. Each of her framed photographic images in the show has been printed on at least two sheets of clear plastic, which she then painted with 24-karat gold leaf, sandwiched together, mounted on black backing, and framed. The result is off-kilter images that embody shadow while shimmering with light.
The exhibition will run from February 27, 2022 until March 26, 2022 in Joshua Tree National Park. View them at the Black Rock Art Gallery in the Black Rock Nature Center located at 9800 Black Rock Canyon Rd, Yucca Valley, CA 92284.
