Since 2019, he has been carving petroglyphs along nature trails in Phippsburg, Maine representing the local nature and culture through images of birds, butterflies, boats, ships, and even Ingenuity, the Mars helicopter.

From the petroglyphs Sudeith makes ceramic casts to represent the petroglyphs to viewers who may never visit Phippsburg.
