"Petrographs" are Liquid Light emulsion images printed on stone by Pamela Petro of Northampton, Mass. Her website, with the dates of current and upcoming shows, is www.petrographs.blogspot.com.
"This is an image of my friend Marguerite. I gathered rocks from the beach, printed them, and then returned Marguerite's petrograph along with the others to the beach where I'd found them, and let the sea have its way."
"Petrographs celebrate our physical connection to the earth by suggesting how place shapes us—the rocks’ ancient histories, formed and distorted by glaciers, seas, fire, and ice, become the miniature landscapes that give mass and form to our memories."
"A young woman and three children were swimming in the river, near the dam. 'Are you the one who put the faces on the rocks?' the mother asked. I nodded, as her young daughter came and took my hand excitedly, leading me to the water. 'Look,' she cried, 'today the rocks have faces!'"
