JON WHYTE: Keeper of Place

Reflections on Jon

Jon Whyte at Lake O'Hara, ca 1982

 

“One traversed a conversation with Jon as one would a mountain switchback, knowing that the view from the peak was usually worth the hike.”

– Marni Jackson

Jon Whyte, ca 1980

 

“Jon Whyte saw the vitality of the human mind as not merely a reflection, but a product of the vitality of nature. He knew, better than most, that when wildness is gone from the land, it will be followed soon by the wildness – the spontaneity, the creativity – of the human spirit.”

– Mike McIvor
