The work is a woodblock print on Mohawk lighweight paper.
This print stemmed from the theme of cairns, or man-made stacks of rocks. For North America, cairns are largely a method of displaying the literal meaning of direction, as they are often found along trails to help people find their way in a geographical sense. However, if one travels outside North America, the meaning of cairns encompasses much more, often moving into the spiritual, thereby giving cairns another way of showing direction. As with many things, cairns have a different meaning depending upon where you live and have traveled.
