Nature was once the only power in human imagination capable of lifting the cultural weight of our existential questions. Hoisted onto trees, oceans, and animals were questions about who we are, why we’re here, and what our place in the universe really is. To examine our shift away from this thinking, I took the Norse World Tree, Yggdrasil, a mythic structure that held people’s entire cosmological framework, and laid it bare. Through reduction linocut I aimed to demonstrate that Western civilization has forgotten how to cultivate cultural imagination and creation, and that we are poorer for it. We have minimized the tree, old and giant, into a mere source of wood.

A combination of monoprint and relief printing, this landscape is a technical experiment that aimed to capture the blur of clouds, the occlusion of the horizon, and the sporadic tree line of a frozen lake in Dalarna, Sweden. Dalarna, formerly Dalecaria, is the home to famous Dalecarian (or Dala) Horse, a small folk toy carved from pine that’s been around since the 1600s but gained international notoriety at the 1937 and 1939 World’s Fairs. This landscape means to feature the place where a dala horse’s wood is farmed and carved, itself a metaphor for our understanding on wider production chains. As we hold a toy in our hands, its origins and provenance are blurred from us. Wood is a product, a tree pulled from its ecosystem and processed by logging and lathing. The steps between the tree and the horse are myriad, and not always clear.
