Photographic artist Jay Hemphill's work is featured in a new exhibit at the Silver City MuseumSilver City -- The Silver City Museum welcomes local photographer Jay Hemphill's photographic exhibit, "Gila Wilderness by Foot," a stunning collection of more than 20 years exploring and capturing the wild beauty of the Gila Wilderness on foot.
This powerful exhibit, which opens Saturday, September 27, and runs through March of 2026, offers much more than mere landscape documentation. Hemphill's images evoke the profound solitude, immense scale, and raw beauty that define this pristine wilderness landscape. His photographs transport viewers into territories few will ever experience firsthand, revealing intimate moments of wilderness grandeur.
"We are so happy to present the magnificent work of Jay Hemphill," said Museum Director Bart Roselli. "His work is directly in line with one of the museum's key interests, which is the environment and our connections to it. This selection of images will certainly captivate viewers and hopefully enable them to find emotional connections to our region's forests, rivers and protected lands."
Each image represents not only technical mastery but also physical dedication, as Hemphill ventures miles into backcountry with heavy equipment to reach locations accessible only on foot. The resulting photographs capture the essence of untouched wilderness, offering viewers a visceral connection to landscapes that remain largely unchanged since this powerful landscape was designated America's first wilderness area in 1924. In 2024 Hemphill published "The Gila 100," a photographic tribute marking the Gila Wilderness Centennial.
