ARTIST STATEMENT
We have climate migration now, as if there’s a place we can go to escape all the bad decisions we’ve made. We can just go to this OTHER planet that’s not affected by ignoring climate change. Except there isn’t another place. I teach science, so I’m constantly reading about climate change, and after 20 years, the story isn’t getting better—and it’s definitely not going away. I started with a protective goddess holding a planet already in danger as people run from the natural disasters we’ve created.
