Clocks and Maps.

Clocks are a reminder of nature’s cycles, while maps represent a frozen moment in time. When used together in a painting about our compromised environment, the symbolism of a clock can imply that time is running out. 

I use maps, accurate and fantasy, to call attention to the affects of climate change as glaciers melt and land masses are altered at an unnatural and accelerated rate. Maps are one of the most familiar and ancient “tools” humans utilize to demonstrate a world view, and now, if we take the time to look, maps are recording the undeniable changes caused by climate change and human activity.
