The First Water War, encaustic, paper collage, artist’s photos, oil pastel, on cradled panel, 16 x 12 inches 

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Rising temperatures. Rising tempers. Rising population pressure. For this show, my work reflects the effects of temperature. I have lived long enough to see the changes; they scare me. I take a look into the future. ‘Power Breakdown’ reflects the results of rising temperatures all over the globe causing a massive breakdown in the power grid. Forests are going up in flames so voracious they reach towns and agricultural land too. What will happen when there is ‘Fire in the City’? I may live to see ‘The First Water War.’
