\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSolace in wilderness, both near and far, is essential to me. We spend entirely too much time indoors, nose deep and hunched over in front of blue screens, computers, and smart phones. The Japanese deal with this phenomenon by Shinrin Yoku<\/em>, \u201cforest bathing,\u201d as an approach to gaining emotional and spiritual equilibrium. Most of my adult life I have enjoyed the wilderness with my lifelong companion. Solitude, quiet, slow, and intimate encounters with the vast and tiny have provided calm and energized my curiosity and imagination that continues now independently.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAll wilderness, urban or distant, o\ufb00ers opportunities for quiet contemplation. Patterns, textures, colors, sounds, odors – all reach out to slow one down – allowing one to become immersed in the natural environment and experience the intimate wilderness.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

ARTIST STATEMENT<\/p>\n

At the end of a multi-day backpack in the Denali National Park backcountry, we walked several miles down the Savage River Valley along the river bar out to the park road. Along the length of the valley, a line of tall willows grew and supported several large messy magpie nests. Each nest was protected by a magpie pair who commented loudly as we walked by. I constructed this \u201ccarousel\u201d type book to show just how complex the willows were and how persistent the magpies were. <\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t

Climate change has increased the average annual temperature in many places. Higher temperatures in combination with reduced rainfall stresses many species of trees making them prey to bark beetles. Bark beetle infestations inevitably weaken and often kill their host species. In Alaskan spruce forests the spruce bark beetle is the culprit; in Southern California it is the pine bark beetle\u2013same outcome, slightly di\ufb00erent species\u2026devastation.<\/p>\n
