About this series:
In the summer of 2024, I took a sabbatical from home to paint in the desert. Leaving behind my life in New York, I arrived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with a modest goal: one painting a day. Turquoise skies. Pink sand. Brown earth humming with an ancient, unhurried energy. Time stretched differently there. A few days away is a break; a month away is a reordering. Amid the whistling, dry winds, I reflected on the previous decade of work and how one idea influences the next, leaving a trail, like footsteps in dirt. Soon, one painting a day wasn’t enough. I made two. Then three. Then four. The work began to shift into something modular, like a tapestry unraveling and reassembling again and again. I’ve always been drawn to building in series—bodies of work that speak in fragments, that form meaning through arrangement, through relationship. This one became a kind of map—of the desert, of my thoughts, of my past work. Each piece seemed to contain the trace of another. A color reappearing. A shape repeating. A quiet idea returning in a different form. Forty-five echoes, each part of a larger soundscape. This poster represents a demarcation in time. The original paintings are available at iandingman.bigcartel.com.
