Denver Botanic Gardens

Dammed and flooded in 1963 to create Lake Powell, the desert walls of Glen Canyon in Utah have recently emerged from the water after two decades of drought. The reappearance of this vast canyon system and the ensuing ecological resurgence serve as both a stark reminder of climate change and a testament to nature's resilience. Photographer Elliot Ross documented this landscape in flux in his exhibition, "Geography of Hope," on view at the Gardens through February 2. His field journals are featured in the exhibition, providing insight into his creative process and documentation of his journey. Ross uses quick-developing photographs on these excursions as visual notes, like a painter using a sketch, in order to consider lighting, viewpoints and details to include in his final compositions.
