Following the lead of brands like Patagonia, 85 for 85 is a project that aims to right the wrong done to Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and the people who hold those places dear.
My small contribution takes cues from Bears Ears' distinctive peaks and a passage from The Hour of Land by Terry Tempest Williams.
The 85 for 85 book contains 85 pieces of work, from 40 contributing artists, representing the 85% reduction of Bears Ears National Monument.
100% of profits will be donated in support of the Wilderness Society's lawsuit against the administration and its reduction of protected land. Our goal is a substantial, and fitting, $8,500.
