About the Item

Construction Sites are areas of rapid change to the environment. Forest, farms, old structures or empty lots are converted to new buildings with large capital investments of energy and resources. As such, construction sites are snapshots of how a society views development and prosperity. The familiar jobs verse the environment argument has taken on a new meaning in the age of climate change, population growth, forever chemicals and sustainability. Construction sites can be either symbols or the price of progress to the people impacted. I see these temporary landscapes as metaphors for how we are choosing to construct the future. -- Peter Essick

Earth Remains #45
Located in Sante Fe, NM
This photograph is representative of two related series of mine that deal with humanity's impact on and relationship with the earth. This relationship is not sustainable. Lately, I have begun to dream of our tortured earth with the remains of our hubris drifting through space, mined to extinction. This work is an attempt to tear through the ugliness of the world we have made, through the blindness of our voracious appetite to the vastness beyond, where beauty cares not for our perception of it. As Robinson Jeffers wrote: “The beauty of things was born before eyes and sufficient to itself; the heartbreaking beauty/ Will remain when there is no heart to break for it.” -- William Lesch
