Artist, American, born 1937

The image shows a landscape with logging activity. The view is elevated, showing a vast undulating area with tree stumps and debris scattered across the ground. A line of trees is visible on a distant ridge, silhouetted against the sky. The scene is depicted in black and white, creating a somber and desolate atmosphere. The lack of lush foliage and stark contrast between tree remnants and cleared soil convey a sense of barrenness.
