The printed works in this collection emerge from a peripatetic practice of learning and existing alongside a wilderness area, and from relationships that entangle species.

The works from my time in the Birch Cove Lakes–Blue Mountain Wilderness Area are impressions, gatherings, and teachings—gestures of attention to both the known and the unknown, and are shaped by my encounters and those of others. These pieces act as love letters to a complex landscape, revealing an intimate relationship with place—an expression of the biological pull to be part of something beyond ourselves, while inevitably leaving traces of our presence behind. They are translations of experience, meditations on the space between knowing, and rituals of return.
