While I’m in Ireland about to delve into a week of an art making workshop in encaustic I’m thinking of what I will bring to the BOP Garden & Art Festival in November. I have had such a good year I have a great selection to pick from..

It’s good to be away from the studio a few weeks to get perspective.

This is my second piece on climate change/risk.
‘Submerge’ oil, mixed media, 60 x 60cm.
My take:

Squares symbolise isolated reports of climate change
The white could represent the ignoring of the signs, the whitewashing of greenwash, the inertia of governments and big business
Felt too calm
So I added the sawtooth yellow mark
This can be read severally
1 the belief system of climate change, is it true yes no yes no
2 symbolising the extreme dramatic change were going to witness 4 metre sea level in 50 years is now expected (Western Antarctic Ice Shelf)
3 the breath as one runs from a disaster

Technically
compositionally based on the grid. I have chosen values to indicate initial calm but leave the painting not so calm.
Lots of layers to create sense of earth and goundedness
