| ABOUT STEVEN BROCK: |
| Hailing from a family of photographers, Steven Brock was drawn inevitably to photography. He first traveled to Peru in 1982 on a Watson Fellowship to study medicinal plant use in the high elevation Andes mountain range. For one year he lived in a remote town called Pomabamba where he befriended the locals, learned to speak rudimentary Quechua, collected the plants, and took photographs of the community, beginning a long-term project that would span decades. |

| He returned to Peru multiple times in the 1980’s and 90’s, and over the years created a series of black and white portraits of the people living there. More recently, he has returned to Peru to arrange exhibits of these photographs in the provincial capital, in Lima, and back in the town where he took them nearly 40 years ago. |
