Driftwood
Dead Horse State Park, Utah. Driftwood sculptures crafted by nature decorate the Utah desert. The park overlooks the Colorado River.
In the desert, driftwood becomes sculpture. These weathered remnants have been shaped by sun and wind into forms that seem almost intentional. The wood has been bleached by sun and polished by wind-blown sand until it resembles bone more than timber.
Finding water-shaped objects in a desert landscape stops you. They're evidence of the flash floods that occasionally punctuate this place — the kind that can fill dry washes in minutes and reshape the terrain.
I composed this image to emphasize the sculptural quality of the wood against the red rock backdrop. The shapes are natural but seem arranged, the kind of accidental art that the desert produces when given enough time.
Limited edition Chromaluxe metal print. The brushed finish complements the weathered texture of the driftwood. Utah photography for those who find beauty in remnants.
