This is a new experiment for the artist, in bringing a large piece of paper out to work on site in the landscape. Wilson notes: "Previously I have carried small pieces and to make larger works, tiled this small pieces together, but I wanted to try working looser and large. To make this work, I set out to re-find a place that I made a small drawing ten years ago in the hills above the town of Canyon. I found it."
