Our dear friend and client and wickedly-talented artist, Alexandra Fuller, recently completed a photography and poetry project aptly named Tautology, and we were honored to have been able to serve as host for her incredible body of work. 

Having spent the last several years during the pandemic in the remote corners of Southern Utah’s desert, Alex observed her lived experience stood in stark contrast to what she saw in the media and was struck by the duality of truth, that is to say, how truth is not exclusive to the individual. Reality, for her, seemed less an absolute concept but rather something pliable and uniquely intimate. She set about experimenting with this idea of contradictory actualities co-existing by mirrors in desert landscapes and thereby showing juxtaposing viewpoints of the same moment in time and space, both of which remaining equally real. 

What she has produced is as sensual as it is haunting...

the nude form, baked navajo sandstone and ominous thunderclouds her subject material. There’s a poignancy in her work that catches in your throat and refuses to let you forget the desert is hard and unforgiving but also, and simultaneously, unimaginably delicate. 

Alex began the project March 15, 2020, and it took her 6 months to complete it. In addition to the images she created, Alex took to the pen to express what she was seeing and feeling during those bleak months. Six cyanotype prints, each 36” x 60”, display her writing. Her work is available for purchase at alexandrafuller.com and is currently available for viewing in our Underground studio for a limited time. 

We are so damn proud of the work Alex has produced and celebrate her bravery. We look forward to other artists willing to step out and bare their creative teeth. We have built it; come.
