Lu Ross Artist-in-Residence By: Janet Huston Earth, Fire, Wind and Water sculpt Lu Ross’ “Elements of Mojave” exhibition at the Desert Light Gallery. Chilean born photographer Lu Ross (www.lurossphotography.com) opened her exhibit, “Elements of Mojave” on September 5, 2017. “I use representational photography and abstraction to convey shapes crafted by erosion on a dry lakebed, exquisite lines and curves formed by wind-blown dunes and unique textures created by the cooling of molten rock,” Lu explains. “The intrinsic beauty of the desert often goes unseen. With each element of nature came the unique, and often violent, transformation of the Mojave National Preserve into an oasis of peace.” 4 THE DESERT LIGHT | Sep/Oct 2017
