ARTIST STATEMENT:

We go about our lives with little thought to the energy we consume. While we financially pay a cost, we think little about the true cost of our consumption. Who really pays down the line, whether here in the U.S. with Mountaintop Mining, Fracking, Coal fired plants, or in a country with less resources? Someone inevitably pays with loss of land, clean resources, livelihood, and even loss of life, human or otherwise. We have an opportunity to live simpler lives without so much stuff, in the end is it a need or a want?
