This piece was inspired during a journey to the desert of the American southwest. The ominous pervasiveness of nature is intensified in remote locations far from civilization. This intensity is enhanced when one’s focus is aimed at nature’s power of movement. Earthquake in Death Valley connects to the theme/FAM loan as its depiction of nature is related to Fork Shaped Tree and its prominent use of red gives a sense of drama as shown in Milkdrop Coronet.
