This plastic life kills us and outlives us. Man-made environmental pandemics have quickly become irreversible. Our life is not sustainable yet we live each day in denial.
Billions of years of perfection have created us. Humans are capable of ending the cycle of life as we know it, forever. Not us, we say it doesn't matter.
We ignore a problem so big it involves all humanity. So selfish, we are, destroying a world that has given us everything.
In turn, our souls have nowhere to go. Unless you believe we will sit guilty, viewing our dead world from paradise.
This week I painted some more 8.5 x 11" gouache paintings. I'm still working on titles but I created accompanying text for each painting (shown above). From class today I received constructive advice on ways to incorporate the text within the painting or outside of it. I will be creating a mock-up book for next week displaying the text either on separate pages, or on top of the paintings. I have printed out copies of the paintings and will be layering text with tracing paper and also writing directly on top to get some more ideas.
here is the full text:

This was difficult to scan but I created this poster size painting last week to further illustrate the greatness of our creation and how we are all created from infinite bits of matter that will be recycled into new life. I was also hoping to explain how small and insignificant human life really is in the grand scheme of things.
