The Fossil Fuel Follies
Drawing
Ink, watercolour
My work is a satirical look at the way how the canon of great art and the public museum have become sites of protest. Climate activists have drawn global attention to extinction by fossil-fueled global warming. I have used a combination of ink wash and line techniques to achieve graphic outlines and gradations of tone. My intentions were served by the choice of red, associated symbolically with danger, alarm and passion.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Honoré Daumier, William Hogarth.
