David Eustace
Open Studio and Artist Talk
Saturday April 18, 2026, 3-5pm, Artist Talk at 3pm
BoxoPROJECTS 62732 Sullivan Road, Joshua Tree, CA 92252

During his BoxoPROJECTS residency, artist David Eustace presents work of wind, work of water, a body of work created over six years in response to the Mojave Desert’s climate, topography, and geological processes. Beginning in 2018 and returning each winter through 2023, Eustace lived and worked in remote desert backcountry locations, setting up printmaking experiments, temporary installations, and stillframe cameras that were retrieved and developed in subsequent visits. The assembled work includes books left to weather, canvas buried with desert plants and rusted metal, wax panels left to record site conditions, and timelapse documentation from multiple sites. It tests different modes of attention and intervention, ranging from extended absence to continuous presence, and records change across multiple timeframes, from immediate chemical reactions to material degradation over years.

An open studio and artist talk will be held Saturday, April 18, 2026.
