New Earth 11 (The Arctic)

Watercolor on paper

29.5 x 41″

2018

Part of a series mapping the way that climate change is reshaping our planet and our embodied experience of it.

The shapes here map newly exposed ground near Arctic glaciers. This is land that used to be permanently covered by a glacier that is now uncovered.

This new earth is like a wound, or new, delicate skin that has formed over a wound and is now (ready or not) exposed to the world.
