New Mexico Churches - An Elemental Phenomenon

Press release "Mark Goebel’s photographs are from a series of work entitled “New Mexico Churches - An Elemental Phenomena”. “ I enjoy the quest of locating, finding the churches and capturing not only an image, but the spirit, the unique personality, the elemental phenomena of the sanctuaries. Most often I wait for the full moon to illuminate the churches; to reveal a bit of their secrets, their texture, colors, emotions, that emerge only at night. I enjoy the unique creativity of the artisans who constructed it; the indigenous materials; the skills involved. For me, this is the idea of ‘elemental phenomena’.”
