Enigmatic rock art featuring a myriad of symbols and designs can be found throughout remote landscapes of the Greater Southwest. This vast gallery of ancient art offers intriguing questions. Who created these images on stone? What do they mean? My black and white photography explores this diverse and mysterious imagery and present clues to the symbolic content of these stone murals. Accompanied by an essay by Polly Schaafsma, this volume addresses elements of the visual vocabulary of rock art that move beyond Western philosophy to consider an animistic universe in which all things are sacred.
