These six new works are from my latest series INFERNO. Like previous projects, INFERNO is research-base. This collection exposes objectively measurable aspects of climate changes such as hazardous air quality, unprecedented wildfires, increasing temperatures, melting Arctic ice, and rising sea levels. INFERNO is data driven. Although the works are abstract, they are accurate representations of scientific records.
The Fine Particulate Matter Readings represented in these six works were recorded in Downtown Ottawa in June 2023 when smoke from Canadian wildfires drifted across the country and around the world. (Source: Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.)
Each work measures 44 x 44 inches.
