Piece description from the artist
One of the most iconic New Mexico sites are "ristras", carefully tied strings of chile that has ripened and turned fiery red. These appear in the late summer and fall, often hanging from the front of traditional adobe houses. This is the way chile is preserved by drying, so that it is still available after the harvest time green chile crop is over.
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.
