  • In 2006, I was traveling through France and found brilliantly colored, printed "visual aides" at a flea market. Originally, these visual aides were didactic drawings used in classrooms in the late 1950s to illustrate different aspects of the world, farming, industry and the natural world, for children. I scanned and reproduced these images on watercolor paper and updated them to reflect current events that relate to the state of our environment and how humans anthropomorphize the planet. The chosen events were inserted into the drawings using a style similar to that of the original works, so the completed image is a "Where's Waldo" of what has evolved and devolved environmentally and socially since the 1950s. Collectively, the works introduce contemporary issues and ideals into a 1950s world view, creating a sometimes satirical, but persistently critical look into to our collective past and future.

  • This is an archival pigment print. Pieces framed under UV (glazed) glass should expect no considerable fading for 175 years. Dark storage should keep the pieces as long as good cotton paper can last. The surface of the print is delicate - please handle it carefully to protect it from abrasion!
