Listen to Lucy Griffith reading Dear Ocotillo from Songs of the Ocotillo:

EXHIBITION STATEMENT for MixHaus Gallery in Comfort, TX

Texans Lucy Griffith and Darlene Marwitz collaborate in SONGS OF THE OCOTILLO, mixing poetic and visual art that pays homage to the iconic and beloved plant of the Chihuahuan Desert. Griffith’s words conjure the spirit and resilience of the waving ocotillos that spring to life with a few drops of rain.  Marwitz’s landscapes reflect the solitude, open spaces, distant views, and hardy flora upon the scrabble of the desert floor in Far West Texas.
