DESERT BALLAD
by Aidan Avery, Isabelle Baldwin, Beau Devereaux, and Andrea Koesters
Published by Cantua Editions, 2026
Through images of local terrain, flora, nocturnal landscapes, geology, and other traces of life, Desert Ballad takes setting as its subject, exploring each photographer’s relationship to the Sonoran and surrounding deserts in the Southwest United States. The publication expands on the project’s initial exhibition in 2024, while maintaining its emphasis on land, life, and personal experiences with proximate deserts.Desert Ballad is a collective song to the place where the four artists lived, met, photographed, and grew together in their formative years as a collective.
