Drought

Drought in the American Southwest is a real thing. Rivers, lakes, ponds, and wells are drying up. This small piece is part of a series I am doing that reflects this aspect of climate change. Art must be a voice for change and I hope that my work forces people to reflect on this dramatic aspect of our lives.

As a fiber artist I have often included my handmade paper in my work. Its strength and ability to be used in a sewn format makes it easily worked into the larger hanging. By adding strokes of paint the paper develops a deeper dimension.
