No Boundaries
Climate Change symbols are visible in the degradation of leaves, the use of Jellyfish which thrive in a warm ocean to the denigration of other animals, the Pin Oak leaf whose death from drought helped to spread the wildfires in California in 2020. Playing with the idea of what is the boundary of an image and that climate change knows no boundaries, I switched to printing on paper, hanging it directly on the wall, image continuing in one area to the edge of the paper, implying no ending.

I incorporated linocut printing, manipulation of my photographs and adding different textures, created or found. All were democratically assimilated into the final images. Furthering the mix of actual and digital materiality within the work, I began painting on the surface of the works, challenging the viewer to decipher and discover what was painted, printed, or scanned. Blurring the perimeter of the work I expanded to found fabric, an x-ray, paper, and stitching as mark-making directly onto the canvas and incorporated inkjet color proofs from older works into these compositions, which symbolized hope and gave those works a second life.
