“The Maker’s Mark distillery experience begins long before reaching the property with the winding, somewhat dangerous, pastoral roads and I wanted to reflect that in “They wait.” This perspective is a created one, informed by my own photographs, Google satellite images, and photographs and videos found on the web. This image references all of the elements important in the creation of Maker’s Mark bourbon whisky and was inspired by multiple distillery visits.”
