Sculptor Simi Dabah has been building Welded Steel Sculptures from industrial scrap for more than 30 years. He is a prolific artist who has worked in diverse media, but creating steel sculptures is his passion and primary mode of artistic expression. Simi’s sculptures range in size from 6 inches to 32 feet in height, many weighing over a ton. The steel surfaces are left in their natural unfinished state and allowed to continue rusting to a warm patina. These nonrepresentational sculptures are left untitled, inviting the viewer to interpret the work.
Simi has studios in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, California. In Joshua Tree, his sculptures are displayed on eight acres of land. This display has intrigued and delighted passersby for years. Many of his sculptures can also be seen in various public art locations throughout the Morongo Basin area of the hi-desert, including Yucca Valley, Twentynine Palms and Joshua Tree. Sculptures are often donated to nonprofit institutions for installation on a campus or for fund-raising activities.

EarthWorksNow has positioned itself as an important forum for the current environmental art renaissance in America by showing artworks that contain ideas relating back to early cultures which created lasting art about the environment and seasonal/human cycles of time. The show also references the land art movement in America and Europe from the 1960's to the 1980's, and expands the possibilities of works evolving from this seminal period. Utilizing the unique spirit, and resources of California's Mojave Desert, the college, and the museum, this exhibition has now completed it’s third installment.
We are planning our next biennial for March and April of 2008.
