TERRY TOEDTEMEIER

Artist Statement
"My photography reflects a lifelong fascination with the form of all things: from the shapes of human interactions which I explored in my earliest work (1973-1977) to more recent explorations of basalt formations. Since childhood, I have been interested in geology and the physical nature of our world. My photographs approach geology in the abstract: as a vehicle through which I can express my sense of a beauty that unifies the natural world.

Since 1983, my focus has shifted towards a detailed study of the nature of basalt: the most basic of igneous rocks, formed worldwide as it pours onto the earth's surface in a molted state. In recent years, I have photographed basalt formations from Idaho to the Pacific Coast. In recent travels to Scotland and Hawaii, I have photographed older and younger basalt formations that reveal the ever changing nature of the planet."
