About The Artwork

"The vastness of space and time has no end, Like the thoughts of our mind has no end. What little time we have here we should spend, Thinking of the little things that could have been." Mars Biggoose (Ponca) This poem by the artist is inscribed on a plaque mounted on the top mat. The last photograph shows the paint disturbance at viewer's lower right.
