Lights and Cactus

Along the roof line of the studio, one sees the juxtaposition of spherical abstractions of the light, the masonry of the building, and the natural flora. This exemplifies the organic nature of the building and how it integrates with the landscape. Photo by Carrie Gorringe at Taliesin West, Scottsdale, Arizona on 3 March 2023.

This is the entrance to “The Prow,” the main building at Taliesin. It is considered the foreground for Taliesin West’s main complex and was built in the winter of 1938-1939.
