Susan Roden Plans a Permanent Sculpture for the Desert Dairy

“A residency is a gift to an artist allowing time to reflect on their artistic path, with an added provision of a different environment to inspire and expand creativity.”
 
To honor the opportunity of her February 2021 residency at the Desert Dairy Farm, Susan E. Roden will be creating a public art piece, A DESERT SCULPTURE which will address the fragility of Nature.

Pictured is the painted maquette built to scale and detail, illustrating the intended area’s natural habitat with inclusion of a jet in reference to the Twentynine Palms Marine Base. ­­­­­­Some of the imagery pictured would be the jet, craggy mountain ranges, joshua trees, scrub, raven, big-horned ram, and black-earred jack rabbits.

A Kickstarter project has been created to aid in the building and installation of A DESERT SCULPTURE and run through January 16th. The sculpture is a three-sided, triangular wooden tower that would spire up to nearly seven feet at completion. It would be comprised of five components, consisting of a wooden base, inner pole support, two main body parts (not for the functionality but rather for ease and minimal costs in transportation) and topped with a three-dimensional cow made from recycled materials. The cow will be completed during the residency and installed at the ending.
​
Once completed the sculpture should flow within the environment rather than be intrusive.

Cindy Zimmerman Plans a Grotto for Her Residency

​CINDY ZIMMERMAN’S GROTTO PROJECT
 
I will be in residence at Desert Dairy early January and again in April to create a grotto in the 5’ wide x 9’ long x 8’ high milk storage room of the former dairy barn. The dairy is a remnant of the decade or so in the early 20th century when it rained a lot in the Mojave. The rest of the barn is now a studio and gallery complex, and my grotto will be situated in the lean-to portion of the structure. 
 
All my life I have been working in tight spaces and bunker-like environments, by choice and by necessity: side rooms, back rooms and closets, tiny studios, the hallway of a rec center, a pillbox on a former military base, an oversize wooden crate, a sandbag cubicle, and most recently, the Cooler Room at Art Produce Gallery in San Diego.
 
The cave-like Desert Dairy space will become an ornate, maximalist chamber, with an altar made of concrete garden features, fake rocks, niches, weathered wood, a vintage milk can, and the illusion of flowing water. Cave paintings will feature a bestiary of lactating animals and carnivorous birds. An imagined portal opposite the door will lead into the cosmos, with heaven painted on the ceiling.
 
The space I will create is more like the chapels you would find in an airport or a hospital, a place to go while engaged in other pursuits, for reflection, taking a pause, setting intentions, maybe creating your own private rituals. The grotto will not be religion-affiliated; it will be sacred and profane, casual rather than formal, and not purporting to have any particular wellness or occult benefits for the visitor. I will continue to return as this project unfolds, and to enjoy the solitude and validation of the visionary experiences that enable my art.
