Darwin

When you drive into Darwin it looks pretty much like a dump. The real secret beautiful Darwin isn't visible from your vehicle; you have to get out and know where to look.

Darwin's evidence as a desert mining town is everywhere: old shacks, trailers and wrecked cars; ore cars and junk. The photographs of this idiosyncratic Mojave outpost on the outskirts of Death Valley are a narrative of the interplay between the people who live where the end of the road meets the wilderness, and their assimilation with that topography.

The work explores the idea of how remoteness informs the space people inhabit—while conversely, the individuals and the eclectic constructs that they create define the character of a place, accommodating and celebrating the isolating vastness of their home.
