THOMAS BARROW has been at the forefront of a generation of photographers who came of age during the sixties counterculture. Abandoning traditional photography, in his hands the camera becomes a liberating, experimental tool that incorporates mixed media, text, assemblage, photograms, and the altering and combining of negatives.
THOMAS BARROW is Professor Emeritus of Photography at the University of New Mexico. His photographs are in the permanent collections of the George Eastman House, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Photographic Arts, the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona, Tucson, where his archive is also housed, and other major public and private collections. BARROW’s most recent curatorial endeavor is the book Photography: New Mexico, published in 2008.
