Absaroka — A View from Above Silk Scarf

Some views only reveal themselves from the window seat.  From my workshop outside of Bozeman, the Absaroka Range rises along the eastern horizon — a long, weathered spine of rock that has defined this landscape for millions of years. This scarf began just after lift off, when I looked down from the airplane window and saw the range the way an eagle does: ridge after ridge of ancient stone in every shade of caramel, ash, and amber, threaded with snow and shadow. The Absarokas form the Eastern boundary of Yellowstone National park across the Wyoming-Montana border. and in my daily view, they are the Eastern side of Paradise Valley, where the Yellowstone River flows up to and beyond Livingston, Montana — one of the least-touched mountain ranges in the American West. I carried that view home and printed it on silk.

FABRIC: 100% 16mm Mulberry Silk Satin

SIZE: 35" x 35"

FINISH: Hand-rolled & hand-sewn edges, double-sided print

COLOR: A warm palette of caramel, taupe, ivory, and soft brown — inspired by the ancient ridge lines of the Absaroka Range. Blush rose, dusty mauve, antique gold, and deep walnut appear in the border, echoing the thermal pools and river valleys of the Yellowstone corridor.

ORIGIN: Printed and finished in China from my original photography.
