Roger Asay and Rebecca Davis

"Our work draws upon the raw matter of nature.  We seek to do just enough to it to bring out its essence, to let it speak for itself.  The work is very much about the material; it is the subject of our work, presented unencumbered to create a direct and pure visual experience.

For years we have spent time together wandering through wild parts of the American Southwest.  We have climbed its rocks, run our fingers through its sands, and explored its vast array of environments large and small.  Nature has always influenced our art and we work with almost ritual respect at discovering its elements.

On this artistic journey, we have learned to know ourselves through a union with all that connects life on Earth, to step into the patterns of nature that have flowed through a millennium of time, to witness with open eyes the beauty and power of life.  These are the inspirations that lead to who we are and the work we do as artists."
