“Having traveled on foot for the past 40 years, throughout the great mountain ranges and rain forests of the world, I am an appalled witness to the rampant destruction wrought by man’s presence on our fragile planet. It is denied, dismissed, unobserved or simply excused by most of Earth’s eight billion humans, by 2025. This has deeply affected my Art, which was once centered on the lyric purity of form and line. Since 1990, I have included the stark metaphor of the skull, animal and human. The skull, both attracts and repels. There is a beauty in the skull, but it implies foreboding. The skull is a signpost on the road we travel.”
