  • Inspiration

    This print features my original pen and ink drawing, 300 Years Later, part of my Frontiers series—works inspired by the vast heights of Bryce Canyon’s Navajo Loop Trail and the cracked earth surrounding Yellowstone’s Mud Pots.

    This landscape is rooted in the haunting end of Urashima Taro, a Japanese folktale. In the story, Urashima returns to his homeland after spending what he believes are just three days in a watery underworld. But as his feet touch the shore, he realizes the world he knew is gone—unrecognizable, emptied of everyone he loved. Three hundred years have passed. In his grief, he opens a mysterious box given to him during his journey. A cloud of white smoke escapes, and he is instantly aged.

    I thought about the ending of this story when I last traveled back to my childhood forests of Indiana. I went to visit my favorite maple tree that had huge curving branches and broad leaves stretching up overhead.  Instead of this Goliath, I was sad to find a skeletal pillar. It was hallowed with holes, branches broken and scattered about its base but it wasn’t completely gone.  Bits of green leaves popped from the last few remaining branches and saplings poked through the undergrowth.

    In this artwork, I imagine myself returning to an unrecognizable home 300 years into the future.
