LLC and mining operation being bought up at an alarming rate by international consortiums.
The Rare Earth artworks grew out of my investigative research in 2009 while working on a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (SARF) application. That resulted in a body of work titled “Imagos”– photo/journalism images that capture a moment in history and immediately place the viewer at that moment in time.

These were immense open pit mines at numerous locations world wide, many of which were Rare Earth mines or REEs. The mining and processing to separate the rare earth elements is an environmental conundrum. On one hand these elements are in extremely high demand and necessary for electric vehicles...

Esmeralda Mine, (Rare Earth), NV
By Michael Davis
Located in Palm Desert, CA
I began to incorporate these Landsat images into a new body of work titled "Rare Earth." Each Rare Earth artwork includes an archival image of a specific mine rendered in classic 3D (anaglyph) off-registration referencing mid-century exuberant optimism, geopolitical history, cultural signifiers, symbolic design patterns and phenomena
The formal and elegant composition belies the actual relationship of the cause and effect of rare earth mining.

"What is it About Old Men and Flowers?" (quoted from artist Richard Turner)
By Michael Davis
Located in Palm Desert, CA
Quote from RT on style subject matter.
From the model image the actual artwork evolves in the studio. What was once a model
is now a reference. The act of making, testing material compatibility, critical evaluation,
chance, gesture and the Illuminating accident often shift the final concept. Ine artwork
has a lite of its own.
