Here's the finished painting. This is from a photo I took in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area last August.
Too much [central] control freezes the system into limited configurations; too little causes it to wander aimlessly. Only systems that hover on the border between order and chaos exhibit the needed general stability and capacity to explore the universe of possible solutions to challenges.

"In this far-reaching conversation, Hansel shares the historic role that art and photography have played in the preservation of public lands, from the establishment of the first National Parks through today."

Dear Senator:
Please vote no on HJ 140, the resolution to open an area near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to mining using the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
A 2022 report concluded that mining could cause irreversible harm to the ecosystem and the nearby National Forest and Voyageurs National Park.
In 2023, the Biden Administration protected the area from mining for 20 years via Public Land Order 7917. It also banned sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,504 acres of nearby Superior National Forest land. If this resolution goes forward in the Senate, it means that no public land protection order is beyond congressional reach.
The Trump Administration wants to grant mining leases to Twin Metals, a Chilean mining company owned by Antofagasta PLC. The company has a 100 percent track record of toxic pollution, and there is no guarantee that the materials mined in this area would remain in the US, as Antofagasta has long-standing Chinese clients.
The Boundary Waters draws more visitors each year than any other wilderness area and supports a multi-billion-dollar outdoor economy.
Vote no on H.J. Res. 140.
