This piece is my contribution to the Green to the Extreme exhibition at A.P.E. Gallery in Northampton, MA


From the Zea Mays Printmaking press release for this exhibition:


Featuring multimedia printmaking works by 38 artists about the environmental, political, social, and personal issues related to natural resource exploitation—its forms and its consequences, including its effect on art making and human life.

The exhibition is associated with a pan-global art project, Extraction: Art on the Edge of the Abyss, “a multimedia, multi-venue, cross-border art intervention that will investigate extractive industry in all of its forms from mining and drilling to the reckless exploitation of water, soil, trees, marine life, and other natural resources.”
