​The gray whale was discovered on Limantour beach, Point Reyes, in April 2019. It was one of half a dozen or more gray whales that washed ashore in the San Francisco area in the Spring of 2019.  They are believed to have starved to death due to – Climate change, over fishing, pollution… Any one or all of these reasons and possibly some not considered or even known about. A sad reminder of where we might be heading.
This drawing was the condition of its remains in June, 2019.

The exhibition comprises over 25 pencil drawings of forest features on or close to the ground.  Many of the drawings are of the torn roots of fallen Giant Sequoia and other trees. Some of these fallen trees are very old, some more recent.  Other drawings are the decaying remains of fallen trees and branches laid on the ground. Also included is a series focused on features of the stump of the “Discovery Tree” in the Calaveras Big Trees park.
