| Internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist Terri Garland has been exploring issues of racial discordance and the culture of the American South for more than 20 years. The work is sometimes controversial, however, the artist's intent is to present the images as visual texts which serve both as social documents and cultural observations from a very personal perspective. |
| The events of Hurricane Katrina and the horrific aftermath for the people of Louisiana and Mississippi presented a poignant and more urgent context for Garland's work. "Meditations on Strength and Neglect" further explores the "Southern Discomforts" idiom in a time of intense stress. |
| The BP "Deep Water-Horizon" explosion and massive oil spill has created an environmental disaster that will have irrevocable economic and social consequences for decades to come. Those who make their living along the gulf coast are the immediate and hardest hit victims of this tragedy, ultimately, we are all effected, victims for years to come. |
| In the last three years Garland has continued working extensively in Mississippi and Louisiana examining all aspects of the racial issues that continue brew against a background of dichotomous tradition and a distinctly Southern cultural landscape. |
| Ms. Garland's documentary photographic work has been widely exhibited in the US and Europe, published in major periodicals around the globe, and is represented in major American and European museums, libraries and private collections. |
| Terri Garland and Perspective Fine Art are solely and entirely responsible for the content of these images, which are presented here both as visual documents and as works of art. They are presented with no intention to incite or insult anyone, nor are they meant to profess a belief, present a critique, or otherwise embrace a point of view beyond that of the artist's presentation of her observations. |

| "The Face of Loss pairs portraits of Gulf residents and their responses to the question, "what have you lost? - how have you been affected?" The demise of livelihoods, wetlands and wildlife are intrinsically tied to corporate irresponsibility and the power of greed." tg 2010 |
