The Beach, an arts and literature residency space in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Cliff Hengst and Scott Hewicker made dozens of drawings and watercolor paintings inspired by the environment of their trip and displayed them all over the main rooms of the house emphasizing the brilliant details of this special building.

Cliff and Scott also performed on stage in Karla Milosevich's restaging of "Love Will Build a Bridge,” a poet's theater play that Karla co-wrote with Kevin Killian in 2003.
