Artist Statement for Jerry Geist
|
|
|
Jerry's work is a study of subjects shot on the edge of light, the edge of weather and the edge of seasons. The finest of all his images incorporates two or more of these attributes. Look for those images when weather is changing, at the turn of seasons, with dramatic light, often at the dawn or close of a day. These sharp contrasts offer to him the same excitement so many people express who say they 'live on the edge.' When you look through these portfolios, see if you can identify these edge boudaries.
Jerry claims the greatest motivation for his work is his personal relationship with his God and Savior. At 12 years of age he asked the Lord Jesus to reside in his heart. That defining moment in his life has affected everything in his life, not the least of which is his photography.
"When I visit a place and see the glorious vistas, skies or even the tiniest of details, I reflect on verses of scripture or lines from the great hymns of the faith that attest to God's majesty. I catch myself speaking out loud, in words of praise, my love for Him and giving thanks for what He allows me to enjoy. I want more than anything else I do, to have my work be a testament to His glory.
As I observe new things each time I venture out, I see more and more that nothing here can be an accident. There is such incredible detail, design and purpose in all things. The mechanics of every living thing is so perfect that chance has no chance of being responsible for its function. I stand in awe of my God. Though I often say that I love this place or that thing, the truth is I love the One Who designed and created it all. It is my Creator, not His creation that is worthy of praise."
"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things . . . ." Revelation 4:11
