Description
My own experiences are also floating around in this course. We as a whole are responsible, no one is singled out and given a pedestal because someone decides that eating veggies saves farm animals. True about the farm animals, but think about the irrigation, deforestation, pesticides, herbicides, and change in soil that was done to get those vegetables to the store. fieldquestions.com/2012/11/26/… Just like responsible farming of vegetables, animals can also be well maintained and cared for. Unfortunately for a lot of people who love meat and buy from stores (me included!), we are supporting a huge and destructive industry...especially with lambs, cows, and pigs. Cows are essentially the worst. The methane they create is damaging the ozone at a pretty scary rate. epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemiss… It's not that cows or other farmed animals exist is the problem, it's the scale that they exist at, and that scale is huge. Buying things like coffee and not minding where it came from is another issue: www.globalexchange.org/fairtra…
It's a lot to think about. When it gets to bare strings, no one is perfect. Nature has a way of working around our habits by bouncing back when given time. We,however, have to allow that by supporting responsible productions, hunting, and farming. Many of the things we buy, drive, and enjoy has an effect on the environment, there's no way around that fact. It's a global effort for as long as we advance and further ourselves from using the raw materials around us.
edit: forgot the technical details! 30x40" (9kx12k px 300ppi)
I have ordered a metal print from WHCC that will be 30x40", to be set up Monday for a solo exhibit along with a Dada influenced collage and smaller sculptures made of feathers and other things.
Prints and creepy shower curtains? are available at my dusty Society6 shop!: society6.com/tatchit
Edit 2: Wow, thanks for the DD! I hope my desc. isn't too jumbled and difficult to read.
Edit 3: I love all the communication and personal views going on in the comments. I, however, won't be responding to them personally. I'm letting the art do the talking.
Powerful work!
