This book celebrates Shadbot's drawings, the backbone and inner life of his practice, which reveal how much he relies on line to define form and space. Both emotion and intellect inspire and inform Shaldbot's sure hand, in works that involve a deep love of nature and a profound sense of place. [...] The drawings synthesize memories of many locales, from the lush forests of the Northwest Coast to fishing villages in France and the sunlit temples of India. The introduction by Scott Watson explores Shadbot's art in relation to the forces of history.'
