The Landscape Enchanted
Photographs of the Rocky Mountain West
Jonathan Eden
March 10–April 8, 2017
Opening Reception: March 10 • 5–8pm
These photographs are a celebration of the landscape and wild animals of the great up-thrusting spine of the American West, the Rocky Mountains. Yet these images come from a place of both sadness and hope. Sadness because open wild vistas are disappearing. With the population of the United States exploding with nearly a million more people every year, open spaces are succumbing to cities, highways, and human settlement multiple forms. Numbers of most wild mammals are shrinking with loss of habitat, as their homes are destroyed. Ultimately, though, Jonathan Eden see his photographs as a form of paying respect to environmental activists – individuals who pushed for the creation of the National Parks, permanent public lands, and wildlife preserves. Jonathan has hope that there always will be individuals devoted to preserving wild lands and the creatures that live in these lands.
