Title: Untitled
Medium: Acrylic paint, ink on watercolour paper
Year: 2020
Artist Statement:
This piece showcases the earth, during our time of the Anthropocene, being destroyed by heavily polluted water. The image itself is acrylic paint on watercolour paper with inking embellishments and a final black acrylic wash. What we see here is me ruining a beautiful piece of art in the name of the planet! My beautiful painting, I ruin, in a sink of polluted water, just like the waters of our beautiful planet are being ruined by our togetherness as a species.
