The work in the Planet In Peril series reflects my concern with climate change. From ancient times, The Four Elements have been a way to structure and understand our environment. When The Four Elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water, are in balance, our world is in balance. This is clearly not the case nowadays. The Planet In Peril series depicts what are now everyday occurrences: fire, flood, drought, hurricanes and tornadoes. I decided to make my portrayals of these catastrophes as beautiful as I could, and to also use unusual materials and techniques, so the viewer would be enticed into interacting with the work. I want the viewer to respond to the beauty and then recognize the destruction. In its own way, this series is a call to action.
