Vierling Image featured in The Green Mysteries by Daniel A. Schulke 4 color screen print with split fountain by Monolith Press Second Printing. 2024. ‘Spring Dawn’ Edition of 100.   18 x 24 inches on French toned paper  Signed and numbered by the artist “ Having rejected all else, these people had come here decades before and fashioned their homes from only that which the land provided, eschewing all forms of ‘civilization.’ Here were men and women colored as the very mantle of the earth - as soil and leaves, as wood and stone. Their visages and movements were contiguous with the land, to such a degree that even in relative close proximity, only the keenly discerning would know that that they were looking at people, and not a meadow or a ravine.” D. A. Schulke . The Green Mysteries
