A woman in a plain dress with long billowing sleeves walks atop a high canopy of leaves. As she approaches the edge, she seems unaware of any danger. Her eyes are fixed indirectly off-panel. The warm glow of sunset washes over her and paints the sky in tranquil layers of peach and lavender. Absently the woman holds a ribbon strung between her hands. With the implied motion of her step, the ribbon brushes her thigh as a red glass heart dangles behind bobbing at the end of its loop. Sinuous trunks of thick textured wood support the flat-top of the canopy upon which she walks. Seeking perch, crows glide between the slithering tendrils that support her. The dichotomy of worlds is clear; the vantage above offers no perspective of below and what holds it all up.

Detail from THE END OF NATURE featuring crows beneath the leafy canopy. A pair glide between the sinuous trunks of thickly textured wood that supports the canopy. One bird has its wings spread wide and feet hanging as if about to land. The glow of sunset illuminates the richly detailed texture of the wood against a sky that is a mix of peach and purple.

Figure detail from THE END OF NATURE featuring a woman in plain robes walking atop a high canopy of leaves. She holds a ribbon strung between her hands with a red glass heart dangling from the end of the loop. She is illuminated with the glow of sunset, and her eyes are focused on the distance not the end of the canopy quickly approaching.
