"This new woodcut was inspired in
part by the writing of Barry Lopez. When reading the book of
essays “Resistance,” I came across the quote,
"We forget what we want to mean"…This piece was
made as an acknowledgment of the types of landscapes that were
shaped by a closer connection to the land, a respect for its
bounty, and a desire to preserve those places that are
inherently beautiful and wild. The average person would most
likely agree that the rural landscape holds beauty and
importance in our culture. Yet, we continue to
"develop" our rural areas in a way that does not
honor this vision. We wanted certain natural areas to define
our country, but we have shortsightedly created a world in
which we have forgotten what we wanted the meaningful things to
be."
