The turbulent story of the Greater Sage-Grouse echoes that of the American Bison. Both species embody the fragile resilience of America’s prairie ecosystem; an ecosystem increasingly imperiled by human activity.
Oil and gas development, particularly fracking, continues to fragment the Sage-Grouse’s critical nesting and mating grounds, pushing these birds to the brink. Fractured Lek reflects the tension between the enduring beauty of prairie wildlife and the human forces driving their decline.
Japanese gansai, mica-infused watercolor, and gold leaf (kintsugi). Painted on a Bison Skull from North Bridger Bison, Wilsall, MT.
