I work in print, paper, and book media to explore human's symbolic relationship to ecology and place. I favor animal symbolism and metaphor as a way to suggest a psychic and emotional disconnect between humans and their environments. This symbolism also relates the history of graphic works that satirize and critique contemporary issues. The following lithographs are responses to the environmental impact of human industry especially with regards to energy extraction and climate change.
