Tagging along with biologists in the mountains near the world\u2019s largest nonpolar icefield, I was struck by their practice of meticulously observing small plots of land, and using that data to draw conclusions about the larger world. Their methods gave me an idea for how to approach Kluane\u2019s sublime scale: how better to approach such a vast place, I thought, than through a microcosm? I chose my own square meter of ground to observe and document to scale, using the tools of my trade.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-scaled.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-1018x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-594\" width=\"840\" height=\"844\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-1018x1024.jpg 1018w, http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-298x300.jpg 298w, http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-768x773.jpg 768w, http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-1527x1536.jpg 1527w, http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-2036x2048.jpg 2036w, http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-500x503.jpg 500w, http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-800x805.jpg 800w, http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-1280x1288.jpg 1280w, http:\/\/cedrawood.com\/work\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Plot-1920x1932.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup><em>Plot (Kluane)<\/em>. 45\u201dx45\u201d, graphite on paper.
