“For over three decades the photographer Thomas Schworer has been making an achingly beautiful inquiry into deep time and the human place in nature. His work belongs to the twentieth century lineage of Imogen Cunningham, Anne Brigman and Edward Weston.”  – Jordan Fisher Smith, author of Nature Noir: A Park Ranger's Patrol in the Sierra
