| 英文摘要 | I have always been drawn to the wildness and beauty of the rural cemeteries in Southern Colorado where I grew up. Widowed at a young age, I decided to photograph all of the cemeteries in the San Luis Valley-burial plots, private and public, Pentecostal, Penitente, Protestant, and Catholic-to explain to myself and to others the mysteries of death, and faithful hope. I found a shared sorrow in the grave images in the cemeteries, and I was comforted. I then sought to offer comfort to others through my art-photographs, digital prints, and artist's books. This article describes my experiences of the grave markers. I have coined the term "grave images," at the heart of which is a simplicity that creates a powerful expressive form that carries the Holy. The grave artisans of the San Luis Valley in their myriad approaches-in sandstone carving, in concrete forming, in their alchemy of transforming ordinary materials into extraordinary ones-show their adept ability to visualize and transmit the Divine into material form. The mountain desert cemeteries are a sacred space filled with objects that reflect Divine realities and remind us of what lies beyond our prosaic life in this physical world. |
