]]>The artworks in the exhibition offer a multi-sensory experience that engages the viewer in a critical reflection of our relationship with fossil fuels. The large-scale cut-paper installations explore the vastness of the petroleum infrastructure, evoking the physical and emotional experience of the petroleum landscape. Meanwhile, the series of charcoal drawings captures the materiality and darkness of coal’s impact on our environment, urging us to confront the environmental cost of our dependence on this resource. Overall, Covering Carbon invites us to think more deeply about our connection to fossil fuels and the ways in which we can use art to inspire change and address the challenges of the current climate crisis.
Artist Statement
My artwork revolves around the subject of fossil fuels. I use different visual and conceptual approaches to examine the infrastructure created by the fossil fuel industries and to explore the physical, material qualities of coal and oil. Through my work, I aim to heighten an awareness of our disconnection and dependence on fossil fuels. Oil and coal are an integral part of our contemporary existence, yet remain mysterious and unknown substances, contained and controlled by the industry. Overall, my work aims to raise awareness and spark conversations about our relationship with energy and the environment.
