If you’d like to see something different when you imagine the desert, Cherish Marquez offers us a counter narrative in her solo exhibition at Union Hall in Denver called Voices of the Desert. Marquez uses imagery, animation, natural materials, virtual objects, and tactile experiences in this exhibit to capture the quiet, humble wisdom that you can find in the desert. The artwork offers a slow look at a cast of non-human characters symbolic of desert life who share glimpses into an unseen mystic consciousness.
