“These days, life is a smaller circle. We visit the same places often, which provides a reprieve from our immediate obligations of survival inside the routine of the days we are carried through. In search of small freedoms, that feeling of discovering life again as new, we are creating a path we call home. Meandering, cyclical, left behind here is what remains.” —Harrison Miller

Harrison Miller grew up in Knoxville, TN, where he continues to live. He travels between Tennessee and Michigan, where his partner grew up. 

The Linville Gorge Wilderness, in the mountains of Western North Carolina, is part of the Pisgah National Forest. The gorge is formed by the Jonas Ridge on the east and Linville Mountain on the west and is bisected by the Linville River which drops 2,000 feet into the valleys below, rugged enough that it was spared the clear-cut logging that was happening in much of the eastern forests after the turn of the century. 

These prints and their frames have been carefully handmade by the artist.
