Extraction Project

Work continues on the collaborative project with artist, Brooke Holve while I’m currently in Somerset England and Brooke is in Sebastopol California.

Some of the project is complete and stored at Brooke’s studio.

The Seager Gray Gallery in Mill Valley will show the work in July 2021 if all goes according to plan during this ongoing pandemic.

I am researching into some of the minerals mined for our devices and used in alternative energy. It is my aim to give a visual language to the mining of Rare earth elements and conflict minerals and /or mining practices that engages and informs the viewer.

I love the process of discovering a trail of information as each inquiry leads to another. A rich sequence of questions. This project deepens my fascination with the magical properties in the substance that lays in the depth beneath our feet. Man has miraculously developed the raw commodities of the earth to create the devices we all now depend on. The dark side is evident in the destruction this mining causes. How do we maintain a balance?

Here are a few snapshots of some of studies on this topic..

This time of outpouring of protests and support for the black community in The USA following George Loyd’s death by police brutality is momentous in that it promises change against racist police brutality and inhumane acts of violence against our fellow citizens.

This is an opportunity to support a cause (the consciouskid.org) that will start the conversation early in a child’s life while adding to or starting your art collection.

I have chosen to donate to this particular charity after witnessing a 7 year-old inflict racist remarks on his black class mate until the young black boy broke down in tears, heartbreaking! The other kids, in shock, did not understand what was happening enough to stand up for their black friend. This Anti-Racist discussion has to begin early in life too.
