You Are Here
Approximately 16”H X 12” Diameter
Acrylic and paper over a school globe
As an artist I craft mixed media artworks that involve the intricate dance of subject, color and materials. ”You Are Here" transforms a familiar school globe into a powerful dialogue about the climate crisis. This artwork wraps the globe in bandages, each inscribed with thought-provoking questions and urgent statements. Key words, set in green, voice current anxieties and are layered over an antique map background, connecting our present to the past.
The globe, an iconic symbol from many childhood classrooms, represents learning, growth, and the development of a global perspective. It reminds us of our shared responsibility in addressing climate change. As we begin any journey by locating "You Are Here" on a map, this piece urges us to recognize our current position in the climate crisis and prompts us to take meaningful action toward a sustainable future.
"You Are Here" is not just a statement of our current position but a call to navigate towards a healthier, more conscious world.
