"Mary Henrikson’s process combines artistry, science, ethnographic research and direct experience in a way that weaves together the best of each modality. She provides a landscape for exploration, living closely to the land and its people, and gives a powerful and fascinating perspective … She shows us a powerful way of combining methodology and personal insights, bringing the world alive for those who join her."
