About the Artwork:
“We are currently living in the Anthropocene. A period of time relating to the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. As death and suffering feed back into life and beauty, I explore the break down and build upon the destruction wrought by man made forces. Our negligence, waste, and consumption are reflected back through an animal’s pain and victimhood we cannot separate ourselves from. Man, too, is animal, and I convey this truth through a visual language of discomfort, fragility, and grace. Reminding us of the urgency of threatened landscapes, the contrivance of freedom, and the exquisiteness of a single still moment.” – Alexis Trice
