These are photographs of isolated structures in the high desert of Southern California. This area is the final edge of a vast urban expanse. For social, financial, or personal reasons individuals are pushed, or pulled, or simply seek this literal cultural edge. Beyond this point is unoccupied desert. At base, my primary interest is to create images which are iconographic of a desire. A desire to be "beyond," a desire to be alone, a sign of man on the landscape”. - John Divola
