From the artist: This woodcut spawned from a camping trip in the badlands of the Four Corners region of northwestern New Mexico. The figures and landscape are inspired by the million-year-old hoodoo rock formations of the area. These monoliths drink invaluable spermaceti from a sperm whale that lies on a seabed, combining the region’s present-day topography with its past as an ocean floor. I am also thinking about natural resources being reclaimed by nature, specifically oil.
