Climate Model: Tropical Permafrost

Title

Climate Model: Tropical Permafrost

Description

As an artist, I generally don’t approach making art from the perspective as an activist, but rather as a passive observer of the environment in the time I live. These pieces reflect this, as both were made directly from empirical observations from the natural environment. These were then run through my creative process to make the work.

Climate Model: Tropical Permafrost (2013, oil on panel, acrylic glass, metal standoffs) was made in Zhuhai, China and was made from observations made directly from a century old arboretum and garden. Specifically, it creatively reflects the the phenomenon of shifting climatic zones and the changes incurred on the natural environments and especially the flora.

As a soil scientist and forest ecologist, I find this concept to be more than fabulous. I particularly love the work of Von Humboldt, and his Naturgemälde. This seems similar.
