Experience the Sonoran Desert through the lens of award-winning Arizona landscape photographer Mark Klett in this photography exhibit. With a career spanning more than four decades, Klett reframes our notions of time, cultural memory and the land around us. “The saguaro only grows in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico. They are magnificent plants and walking among them gives a presence that is undeniably human. For centuries, people native to the region have considered saguaros to be the souls of lost ancestors.” – Mark Klett Mark Klett is a photographer interested in the intersection of places, history and time. His background includes working as a geologist before turning to photography.
