Springville Museum of Art, Springville, Utah, 1996

This place-specific installation focused on human encroachment/development into winter deer habitat within the Uinta and Wasatch mountain basins of Utah.  Using 6 tons of red dirt I created a 24-foot circle.  In the middle of the circle sat a picnic table with four place mats (cibachrome prints of winter killed deer).  Underneath the table lay a full deer skeleton.  Rising from the dirt and the skeleton, and then bisecting the table and extending to the ceiling rafters was a quaking aspen pole.
