etching and chine collé; paper 11×11″

“Revival” is an attempt to understand the importance of our ecosystems and the ways in which they often cycle through necessary periods of decay. These cycles are facing the impacts of environmental distress caused by climate change. Any form of imbalance can cause a cascade of cause-and-effect to these systems. These rapid shifts create alien ecosystems as their inhabitants are forced to adapt in order to survive. The green Chine Collé placed disparately on top of the bare wood represents new growth, a form of hope, resulting from these changes and decay, sometimes completely foreign to its previous ecology.
