Gowin’s visual wonderment contemplates humanity’s relationship to the natural world The( One Hundred Circle Farm and Mariposa Noturnas), his favorite muse—his wife Edith Morris and extended Virginia family, aerial vistas of nuclear test sites, and scientific surveys of tropical ecosystems and their dependent biodiversity. He has created exquisite compositions of the volcanic devastation of Washington’s Mount St. Helens, the chemical contamination of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, pivot irrigation agriculture in Kansas, the chemo-petrol industries of the Czech Republic, and most recently, the Spanish province of Granada. Gowin discusses his “transition from the intimate nature of those first photographs with the most recent series of photographs of agriculture on an industrial scale and its amazing beauty and form, which also relates to the rapid, irreplaceable loss of water in the Ogalala aquifer.” This program was recorded on Mother’s Day, 2021, so it is also a tribute to his wife Edith—“my inspiration and subject for many of the best of my photographs for many years." Emmet Gowan is a long-time member of Newtown Friends (Quaker) Meeting.
