These 140 drawings for the book were created over the course of one year in my studio at Ballardworks in Seattle and paid for by a grant from Artist Trust. This particular body of work features a re-telling of the narrative behind paintings created over the past seven years. I have given these works a backstory that explains the origin of their conception, a story told after the fact. These paintings document a fictional island inhabited by only male members of various species and the destruction they have brought.
