Title:UntitledArtist:Ernest Whiteman Date:1991 Creation Place:North America, United States, Great Plains region Credit Line:The David Draper Dayton Fund Accession Number:92.140 In the beginning, I didn't really have any idea that I was going to be doing rock writing images, but as a child, I used to go up to the mountains of Wyoming where there are rock writings. It felt like going into a large cathedral or a temple. And these images became something that started appearing in my work. I was working with neon, experimenting with smaller images, and suddenly I said, "Why don't we try a large piece and see what happens." So these images have drawn me into them.
