This piece portrays four distinct landscapes stitched together: Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, Feather River Canyon in northern California, the Santa Ynez mountains in Santa Barbara, California, and Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado. The confluence of terrains depicted in “Antiquity” harkens back to a time before now, a time before modern societies created illusory and physical fractures in the landscape. The ancient world was one of continuous wilderness, unbroken by sprawling metropolises and imaginary borders. “Antiquity” looks both backwards and forwards in time as it uses the past as a model for a future where man returns to nature.
