To know a place, we have to attend to it.
A plant takes root in darkness and unfolds its leaves into the light. Both belong to its life. On a farm, we work with this relationship every day: in the soil we tend, the shade we preserve, and the food we grow.
In Tepetlixpa, we weeded and planted garden beds, filled horns with manure, and studied images of the soil. In Todos Santos, we gathered beneath the trees at Palma Serena. The questions follow us from one place to another; the land asks us to pay attention all over again.
Thank you to everyone who joined us. These photographs recall our work together, and carry an invitation to return.
ChromatographyWe collect and dry soil samples. We prepare their images and study them together.
Befriending the dark, blossoming out of the deep.

Todos Santos, Baja California Sur January 2026
At Palma Serena, shade is part of the work of cultivation. The trees shelter the garden from the drying force of the sun. To understand the garden, we have to look beyond its beds to the trees, the water, and the surrounding land.
