Hysterical

Palm Springs Art Museum

As we walked about the museum, I kept noticing that two women were laughing hysterically nearly every time I saw them. I then noticed that they were looking at the paintings and sculptures through Snapchat face lenses.

Try it. You'll laugh too.

Alien Art

Blythe Intaglios

The Blythe Geoglyphs are giant pictures scratched out of the gravel in the Colorado Desert; just north of Blythe, California. For some reason, I expected them to be bigger.

Noah's Art

Noah Purifoy

"I do not wish to be an artist. I only wish that art enables me to be."- Noah Purifoy, 1963

Artist Noah Purifoy spent the last 15 years of his life sculpting junked materials into art in the Mohave desert. As I walked the 10 acres of assemblage, I considered what each item might have looked like when they were created -- before many years of exposure to the desert.
