Sites of Impact images on display at ClampArt until Saturday, June 6th. · Jun 3, 01:43 PM
Last Thursday at Marymount Manhattan College Sites of Impact: Meteorite Craters Around the World author Stan Gaz participated in a panel discussion with Dr. Denton S. Ebel (curator at the Museum of Natural History), and Brian Paul Clamp, (director of ClampArt):
The New Yorker magazine says:
“Gaz’s big black-and-white aerial photographs of meteor-impact sites in Namibia, Australia, South Africa, and elsewhere appear prehistoric; with the exception of a crater in Arizona and its attendant industrial sprawl, there are no signs of human habitation. Or maybe these images anticipate the end of history, a time when the earth returns to moonlike desolation, its skies black and its barren surface gouged. Gaz’s decidedly lunar landscapes may not be sci-fi fantasies — he took them hanging out of a hovering helicopter — but they’re almost unrecognizable as our home planet. Magnificent and frightening, they suggest an abrupt beginning and a shattering end.” — Vince Aletti (May 20,2009)
