Piece description from the artist
While visiting some archeological sites own the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, I was struck by the feeling of space from standing on the edge of a mesa and looking out at Cerro Pelado. I was hoping to recreate this feeling in a photograph. I included the forest floor covered in pine cones at my feet as it was shaded by an old pine tree on the mesa's edge. The small cloud that appeared in the sky gave a further feeling of space.
Theodore Greer was born in Gallup, New Mexico, where his parents and grandparents ran trading posts on the Navajo and Zuni Indian reservations.
He studied photography and printmaking at San Francisco Art Institute and at the University of New Mexico. He has degrees in archeology and education, and has worked at innumerable jobs over the years. He has traveled and photographed throughout the western U.S., and in Mexico, South America and Europe. He has shown in Jemez Springs, Taos, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Seattle, Oakland and San Francisco.
He uses photography to share his vision of the natural world that forms the basis for all life on Earth. He is fortunate to live in the midst of nature, and hopes that through his photographs, others who may not be as fortunate can gain a positive mental and physical effect through his images. Currently he has hundreds of his photographs hanging in hospitals in the Albuquerque area, that provide a soothing, hopeful environment for both patients and healthcare providers alike.
