2008 Artist Projects Recipients Christopher Colville – Sonoran Project. The artist will explore through photographs the impact of development on the Sonoran desert. The series will include investigations of: lifecycles, focusing particularly on the cause of death of native species; recording the markings left by humans on the landscape; and, the spaces between human development and the natural landscape. Colville lives in Phoenix. Panel Comments: Colville’s work goes beyond traditional interpretations of a romanticized landscape. He introduces the intersection of the human element into the environment. Strongly noir, the photograms explore the “remains of the day” impressed upon the Sonoran Desert, where life is both miraculous and tenuous.
