I am ineradicably connected to the mountains of my childhood in southern New Mexico. This dimensional art quilt depicts a region of the White Mountain Wilderness, abstracted from a USGS topological map. It is a memorial to a favorite hiking trail, Crest Trail #25 which wends its way along the tops of mountains and ridges. Sadly, this whole area was lost to forest fires in the early 2010s. In the summer of 2019 I hiked in this region for the first time since the fire, and was simultaneously brokenhearted to see how much was lost, and reassured to see plant life returning.
