Jeff Suchak
A Covenant of Reciprocity
Galleries One & Two
June 14 to August 9, 2025
Artist Reception Saturday June 14, 2025 1-3pm
Jeff Suchak is a contemplative fine art photographer who works in film and digital formats. His photography is informed by the Traditional Peoples and transcendental poets throughout history who view the landscape as sacred, entrusted as stewards and caretakes, living in partnership with the land.
As we are now witnessing climate catastrophe and disruptions around the world as regular occurrences, the resulting societal impacts are becoming more apparent. We are now living it. So how do we live in this new reality of catastrophe understanding it will continue to grow in frequency and devastation?
In the exhibition, A Covenant of Reciprocity, Jeff asks what is the nature of our relationship with the Natural World?
His selection of images often go unseen. Many are close and invite you in. Seeing the unseen. Will the experience evoke a sense of mystery, of wonder, of awe? Can the image contribute to one giving thought to their relationship with the natural world and possibly awakening into a new one?
The exhibition, A Covenant of Reciprocity asks us to ponder our relationship and to give consideration to entering into a new covenant with the Natural World.
