Rex Ravenelle, a California Institute of the Arts
Alumni, applied for and won a paid residency to work full-time
at The Center for the coming year. Rex submitted an application
to the Durfee Foundation to assist with the Land Use Database
Project at The Center, and was summarily awarded $21,000 by
the Foundation in July.
Rex brings valuable computer skills, a knowledge
and interest in the Southwestern landscape, and a trained "artistic
sense" to the project. He worked on a design team that
built a geographic database for the public transportation system
of several major metropolitan areas, and has experience with
computer maps and in programming languages. He has traveled
throughout the Southwest and has a special interest in the Four
Corners area.
With Rex working full-time for the coming year,
the Land Use Database will be available to the public by the
middle of next summer.
The Center for Land Use Interpretation would like
to welcome him aboard!
