Marked in White: A ritual Hidden in the Canyon
Western Nowhere

Deep in a remote canyon system of the American Southwest, I went looking for ruins based on an old map. The search led through empty washes and hidden alcoves to a quiet structure warn down by time. What I found there caught me off guard. What it means, I don't really know. The truth is with the ancient people who left them there.
This is not a guide. This is not a reveal. It’s a reminder that some places endure because they are respected.

By no means do I consider my self an expert on anything other than wandering the wild places of the southwest.

I think your art contributes far more to our education and understanding of these ancient cultures and the sacred lands they inhabited for eons down to this day.
