This desert harbors an austere ascetic, explored by minimalists, touched upon by the curious and fully embraced by the artist, these creators with philosophical entreaties into every aspect of human emotion. Desert living is now described as desert modern, a simple lifestyle of comfort leaning against the harsh beauty of a desert landscape. This home belonged to one of those early desert dwellers who arrived at this spot, who chose to explore the entire depth of life from the perspective of being in the mountains and desert, collecting their treasures, securing them away to their studio and workshop. A simple vintage home filled with love and the freedom to explore the desert as an open door to the entire world we live in. Basic living quarters with all that is needed, a bedroom, a bath, a small kitchen, sun filled living room with wood corner windows and fireplace, a sun room that leads to maybe another bedroom and then the workshop, a dirt floor embedded with pea gravel to hold the dust, those amazing work benches. Filtered light streams in through calcified windows, the rafters hold treasures, the tools offer promise. Grounded in earth again, you finally turn to discover the haven of the library room, filled with studies of life, the art of living, the full depth and breadth of being here, being in the desert and living and leaning simply into why we live here.
