until moving from a metropolitan city, where for 50 years the only thing hunted were creepy crawling things, to the wilds of Idaho I was virtually untouched by hunting. but in Idaho it is a way of life and a way to live. the state makes money from hunting tags and tourists coming to enjoy the experience. tag are given to control animal population. if there are too many deer, more tags are given for them. conversely, too few an animal species, less tags. and the people of Idaho feed their families from the season's success or failure. myself, I have not hunted. but art is about controversy and life and hunting is a way of life for many. so, here is another season of hunting. it is in original form a 70' continuous story painting in a folding album painted on rice paper pages in a traditional Chinese style. but wordless. you must tell yourself a story. enjoy. and this magazine does not require a tag.
