About The Artwork
The Aztec Ruins National Monument preserves ancestral Pueblo structures in north-western New Mexico, United States, located close to the town of Aztec and northeast of Farmington, near the Animas River. Salmon Ruins and Heritage Park, with more ancestral Pueblo structures, lies a short distance to the south, just west of Bloomfield near the San Juan River. The buildings date back to the 11th to 13th centuries, and the misnomer attributing them to the Aztec civilization can be traced back to early American settlers in the mid-19th century. The actual construction was by the ancestral Puebloans, the Anasazi. The site was declared "Aztec Ruin National Monument" on January 24, 1923, and with a boundary change it was renamed "Ruins" on July 2, 1928. As an historical property of the National Park Service the National Monument was administratively listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966. Aztec Ruins was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites, as part of the Chaco Culture National Historical Park, on December 8, 1987.

In his book "˜The portrait of an artist as a young man' James Joyce writes "__And to distinguish between the beautiful and the sublime, to distinguish between moral beauty and material beauty. And to inquire what kind of beauty is proper to each of the various arts. These are some interesting points we might take up." I've always believed the beauty proper to photography is not sublime creation, as in all the other arts, but rather a benevolent gift. When the fortune of a beautiful scene is recorded into my camera, in that inconsequential instant, relative to all of time, I am creating nothing. I am given something... like the best Christmas present ever or the love of a best friend. In that respect, photography is more a moral beauty art, as opposed to a material beauty art. The first time I became aware of this was in a small art studio in Paris France, where I discovered a black and white photograph of a young woman. What interested me most was the ambiguity of the subject's expression. She appeared pleasant and pleased. But there was a tear about to fall from her right eye. The image gave me goose bumps and soon after I bought my first camera. 40 years later, I was given the "˜gifts of light' I am displaying on Saachi.
