IN PROGRESS 2007 -
This series explores the once prominent town of Tucumcari, NM at its centennial, a hundred years after its incorporation in 1908.
“The photographs . . . suggest that people and places are symbiotic systems that shape each other fundamentally. Focusing on one town in the Southwest, Ariaz glimpses the constant interlacing of the area’s real and idea landscape in the daily lives of its people” - Lisa Hosterler, curator of photographs at Milwaukee Art Museum, excerpt from Southern Photographers exhibition catalog.
