Jazz Keillor
As a life-long city dweller, I understand all to well the lure of wild spaces: The sense of respite from the rigors and structures of daily life, the meditative power of working with one’s hands to fulfill the needs we normally take for granted, and the sense of camaraderie fostered around the light of a blazing fire. Yet present-day interactions with the land are complex, and deeply entangled within larger colonial and capitalistic constructs.
