Acrylic and printed paper collage on canvas.

30x40"

An image suggestive of landscape built up in multiple layers with acrylic paints and artist printed papers, then obscured. Text elements -- printed directly on the canvas using artist-carved linoleum blocks -- are CO2 numbers for selected months from 1983 to 2024.
The finished work draws the viewer in gradually, drawing the eye to different elements of the work, appreciating the graphical elements as a visual dimension of the work, rather than a message. The work bears witness to climate change by capturing CO2 data trends over time in a context of beauty and joy, a dynamic expression of concern with hopefulness.
