The dazzling colors of September in Great Basin
National Park are not only limited to the high mountain aspens. The lower
sagebrush ecosystem is vibrant with colors that sing under the intense blue sky
of the dry desert.
I used some reclaimed silk I had dyed with
natural dyes several years ago for this project. The yarn was the same as the
West Desert Hood I created years ago (see picture below). The colors truly echo the muted desert
colors in the fall. This artwork was produced under the Darwin Lambert Artist in Residence Program at Great Basin National Park.
