Mark Armijo McKnight: Decreation

By drawing on sources ranging from art history to ancient mythology to social philosophy, Armijo McKnight layers his photographs with metaphor. The photograph The Black Place (ii), in which the contours of an eroded landscape evoke bodily forms, takes its title from the name that the artist Georgia O’Keeffe gave to her favorite painting site near Nageezi, New Mexico, which she said looked like “a mile of elephants.”
