Gain-of-function

My current 2D multimedia artwork attempts to use paint, data, and landscape imagery as a way to facilitate discussions about climate change, global warming, habitat loss, population explosion, natural disasters and more. By painting scientific studies directly onto traditional Landscape imagery in a way that allows the two voices to speak simultaneously to these issues and the environments directly affected by them. The stippling dots that create the layered graphs allow the imagery to show through and blend with the colors and textures. Focusing on images of wild grasslands, communities on the edge of the Chesapeake Bay and dense urban infrastructure of the city of Baltimore. Within these images you will find subtle details of beautiful wetlands and shores home to countless wildlife, coal and trash fueled power plants, homes, cars, freeways and equal amounts of water and concrete. The image titles are quotes of climate change denials from politicians and leaders from the past decade. In an attempt to shed additional light on our leaders inability to help care for our environment and alter its current course.
