“Reception.” The antennae of my birthplace. The mesa above my studio in Shonto; the only place I can get cell reception. 7000′. It’s a place of reception – of light, of self discovery. My chapter officials sit in reception the foreground.

Arizona Valentine
To commemorate Arizona’s 100 years of statehood which occurs on Feb. 14, 2012, the Phoenix Sky Harbor Museum is presenting the exhibition “Arizona Valentine” from Nov. 12 – June 3.
