I have been collaborating with Catherine Richardson on this topic of extraction for over two years. The installation will look at the global impact of our much coveted cell phones on the environment. Digging deep into the components of a cell phone, the artists reveal connections between its “smartness,” the mining industries and humans’ relationship with the earth.

A PREVIEW: Plexiglass & Mixed Media, Shelves of Objects that reflect the artists’ processes, Projections and Artist Book
This installation is part of a larger movement of artists, “Art On The Edge Of The Abyss” a multimedia, multi-venue, cross-border art intervention that will investigate extractive industry in all of its forms (from mining and drilling to the reckless exploitation of water, soil, trees, marine life, and other natural resources). The project will expose and interrogate extraction’s negative social and environmental consequences, from the damage done to people, especially indigenous and disenfranchised communities, to ravaged landscapes and poisoned water to climate change and its many troubling implications
