Desert Love
by Sheyenne Taylor - There’s this random collection of abandoned cement structures in the middle of the desert near Tonopah. Every time I drive between Reno and Las Vegas, I stop and check out the new art/writing. It’s prettiest at night ! I saw this disc that I selected, and it immediately brought me to that spot.

Celebrating Artistic Collaboration: A Reflection on the Nevada Awe Project
Reno Nevada- 6/10/2024: As an artist, I am continually inspired by the world around me and the ways in which we interact with our surroundings. When I was approached to participate in the Nevada Awe Project, I couldn't help but feel a sense of alignment with my own artistic practice, rooted in awe and wonderment.
The Nevada Awe Project presented a unique challenge: How do I, as an artist, respond to another artist's work, and how do we create a cohesive expression of awe for Nevada? These questions initially seemed daunting, but they led me to a simple realization when I met Katherine Case.
Katherine's artistry, particularly her line work, captivated me from the moment we connected. The variety and quality of her lines seemed to dance with movement and emotion, evoking echoes of memories past. In her relief prints, I found a resonance with my own visual language—the emotional power imbued in each meticulous mark.
Together, Katherine and I embarked on a journey of artistic collaboration, creating disks that reflect our shared awe for Nevada. Through our work, we sought to capture the essence of this awe, drawing on our individual perspectives and experiences to create a unified expression of reverence for the beauty and complexity of Nevada's landscape and culture.
As artists, we understand the transformative power of collaboration and the ability of art to transcend boundaries and connect us on a deeper level. In the Nevada Awe Project, we found not only an opportunity to express our awe for this remarkable state but also a platform for fostering connections and dialogue within the artistic community.
