While other species live in balance with nature, we eat our way through the planet's resources, taking much more than our share. The result affects every species. Rates of extinction are higher now than any point in recorded history. The diversity of species will become limited to only those that can survive us, or those that benefit or amuse us.
Thinly layered pigment washes evoke a vintage scientific illustration style from an era when naturalists first brought the importance and beauty of the natural world to the public's attention in such fine detail.
“We are at war with nature. If we win, we're lost.”
