U WILL DIE EARTH WILL BURN HOLD NOTHING BACK
Acrylic, house paint, gouache on stretched canvas
40x30
2021

I made this piece a lot more deliberately than others as a reaction to extreme climate change. I can’t believe people still believe the PR spin from oil companies that the responsibility is with every individual to ‘do their part’. The power to change it is not within the hands of individuals; buying an electric car or getting rid of air conditioning doesn’t matter when Exxon and Shell are still extracting resources at a massive scale. And everyone in this exhibit will die some day. So hold nothing back, do something extraordinary with your life.

This piece is made with house paint, acrylic paint, oil paint, and gouache paint on 40x30 stretched canvas. Model reference: Sarah Barnfart.
