This is a metaphorical work that grew out of my concerns over how the world of wilderness and mystery can survive as we, the humans, continue to expand our concrete and steel habitat, further insulating ourselves from the seasonal cycles and the web of interconnections that sustain life. –Artist statement
Here the artist deals with the restoration of fish habitats and the manmade obstructions to this natural way of life.
