Desert rock holds time differently than anything else. In the formations of Valley of Fire, Death Valley, and White Pocket, geological processes leave a record that looks more biological than mineral: cells, membranes, patterns that repeat at every scale.

These photographs move through that record. From terrain to stratum, from erosion to pattern, from pattern to the mineral signatures color holds in stone. The gallery opens at landscape scale and closes where a single tree stands against a wall of striated sandstone.

This is the fine art extension of Cellular Memory: Patterns in Time, a published collector's edition book of forty-two photographs.
