Terry Tempest Williams The paintings of Adele Alsop are pure passionate energy grounded in the redrock desert of southern Utah. She understands the creative tension that exists between the domestic and the wild, how one makes a home in an erosional landscape. She translates the intensity of the desert through a vibrancy of color, each brushstroke akin to heat. The juxtaposition of orchards and sandstone; jars of freshly cut roses against a backdrop of redrock canyons; green always in conversation with red; are the humble and intimate gestures of how one lives in wilderness. Each image is a loving story of a world in creation.
