Evostinction, 2019
Tapestry, 5.5" x 16" x 0" (H x W x D)
My fascination with the human form led me to consider what will happen to the human race as the earth warms. Can we adapt to the changes we are facing? Do we have time? So far we have been evolving, are we now doomed to extinction? Only time will tell if we become dust in the wind.

Linoleum prints on silk organza, hand stitched., 24" x 48" x 0" (H x W x D)
THE RIGHT WHALE is one work in an ongoing series focused on climate change and the results it has brought to the ecosystems and life forms around the earth. In this work, linoleum prints of the whales were printed on two layers of silk, and the lines of stitching represent just one of the dangers to the species, the fishing gear in which the whales become entangled.
