Description

Screen print in greens and yellows showing two potted tomato plants, one wilted. This is print 1 of 12. Artist Statement: "I explore human irresponsibility and its consequences on different species and environments. I use my consumption and waste as an example of the irresponsibility of the contemporary culture of consumption and designed obsolesce. This is conveyed by creating and combining installations, prints, and sculptural objects in a formal and narrative manner while also incorporating the materials that I consume and would then throw "away". As a person that is conscience of how consumption affects our planet, I still produce waste. My goal is to initiate a conversation about the ecological issues that plague out planet and encourage the viewer to think about their actions and role."
