The warm color and strong shadows of early morning light redefine the ends of the rugged roof beams that protrude through the wall of this building, and illuminate the colorful detail that decorate the posts and beams that support the roof. The Institute of American Indian Arts is a good example of what has become known as Territorial Design or Santa Fe Style architecture. In this image, I wanted to express the symbolic essence of Santa Fe Style through the interplay of light and shadow on a small section of the Institute’s external detail, texture, and structure. I cropped this photograph into a long horizontal format to stress the flow of the dark shadows that hold the image together.
