EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient desert landscapes of New Mexico, where a remarkable piece of rock art tells a story that spans centuries. Etched into the volcanic rock between 900 and 1300 AD, this bird pecked into the desert varnish is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site. The intricate details of the bird's form, meticulously carved by skilled hands long ago, are beautifully preserved in this vertical image. The contrasting colors of the desert varnish against the rugged volcanic rock create a striking visual composition that draws us closer to unraveling its mysteries. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of awe and wonder at how our ancestors communicated their stories through such timeless artwork. It serves as a reminder that even amidst vast deserts and harsh terrains, human creativity knows no bounds. Nestled within Alamagordo's archaeological sites, this petroglyph site stands as a testament to our collective past. Its preservation allows us to connect with those who came before us and gain insight into their beliefs and way of life. Through Nedra Westwater/Robert Harding's lens, we are transported on an imaginary journey through time – exploring not only North America's natural beauty but also its rich cultural heritage. This photograph invites us to delve deeper into our shared history while igniting our curiosity for future discoveries yet to be made.
