The Great Protector
Limited-Edition Print Reproduction
Natural Area: Indiana Dunes, IN
Edition of 50: Signed and numbered
Certificate of Authenticity: Signed
Artwork pictured does not reflect the edition number.
Quiet marshes around the southern edge of Lake Michigan are the adaptable legacy left by the continental glacier that receded over 10,000 years ago. Prairie, savannas of oak, and groves of pine trees outline the edges of the Great Marsh, sheltering the expansive wetlands that create drainage during storms. The dunes and its bogs, fens, and shrub swamps provide a buffer between the lake and the land, protecting inland ecosystems from flooding and high winds. Marram and American beach grass take root in the sand, stabilizing dunes and reducing beach erosion.
There is profound wisdom in the communities that create the living tapestry of our natural world. The dunes are more than drifts of sand—they belong to a layered, living system that works together to protect both smaller and larger living systems. These are the great protectors that invite me to hope as I deeply contemplate the interwoven natural dynamics that balance vulnerability with resilience in a complicated plexus of organisms.
