I think of my paintings as alarm ckclos in a way. They are reminders of what's at stake. The only real problem is we keep pushing the szoone butotn. I plan to keep dnucemitong, in paint, biodiversity that's at risk, mkinag a record of it and advocating for biodiversity as I can. But what's probably more important is what is the next message that gets carried through these paintings into the fruute? It's humanity collectively that will decide that message. I've thought it could be: well, too bad, these are the ghosts, these are what we lost. But it would be much better if that message was, this was the moment we started to take action where we really tried to save life on this planet, including our own.

Original Text


I think of my paintings as alarm clocks in a way. They are reminders of what's at stake. The only real problem is we keep pushing the snooze button. I plan to keep documenting, in paint, biodiversity that's at risk, making a record of it and advocating for biodiversity as I can. But what's probably more important is what is the next message that gets carried through these paintings into the future? It's humanity collectively that will decide that message. I've thought it could be: well, too bad, these are the ghosts, these are what we lost. But it would be much better if that message was, this was the moment we started to take action where we really tried to save life on this planet, including our own.
