Rock Art: A Vision of a Vanishing Cultural Landscape

To those who once walked these fins of sandstone, the landscape was alive with meaning and metaphor in a fourth-dimension, a collective vision of a landscape deeply connected to their culture, senses, and their landscape. In Rock Art: A Vision of a Vanishing Cultural Landscape, artist, researcher, and writer Jonathan Bailey brings back layers of dimension to archaeological sites in Utah and Arizona's canyon country by highlighting the significance of seeing beyond the second dimension, that which is carved on the rock face itself, to the value of place, landscape, and the fundamental experience of our prehistory.

These visions of the past are quickly being destroyed by development, vandalism, illegal trail pioneering, and encroaching tourism. This anthology brings together essays by noted archaeologists, writers, and artists (including Lawrence Baca, Greg Child, Andrew Gulliford, James Keyser, William Lipe, Lawrence Loendorf, Lorran Meares, Scott Thybony, and Paul Tosa) to illustrate what we have, what we have lost, and what we may lose, tied together by Bailey's essays and over one-hundred-and-fifty color photographs from his explorations into some of the most remote wild landscapes in North America.
