Picking his way through Antelope Canyon, the Italian artist Fabio Dal Boni searches for the perfect shot. A visitor on this Navajo land by the Arizona/Utah border, he relies on the native guides for help—and if they like Dal Boni, they’ll show him the secret, if not sacred, spots that few outsiders have the privilege to see.
The Navajo call the upper canyon Tsé bighánílíní, “the place where water runs through rocks,” but Dal Boni’s looking for light. “I want to capture the light and transform it into a piece of art,” says Dal Boni, whose first Sarasota show—Creatures of Light—opened last night at AlexArt International Gallery.
