I discovered Noah’s site by accident one day while driving around in North Joshua Tree. At first I would do stealth drive-bys whenever people would come to visit to show them his amazing site. Noah was still alive at that time, and I’m not sure if visitors were supposed to arrive unannounced. But I was obsessed with his work and felt that it embodied everything that I was interested in achieving in the desert. I loved that it was a lifelong undertaking – that it was inextricably grounded in its location - and that it was smart and political and culturally relevant – this seemed especially brave in an area that was very white and often conservative at the time. Eventually I was able to meet Noah by communicating with Sue Welsh who ran his foundation and asked if we could include his art site in our event.
