The Earth Remembers

The Earth Remembers Series focuses on the role of historic memory and how our activities impact the sense of place. Unique historic events, whether of the Holocaust or the devastation of the Native American way of life during the Revolutionary War, are rich in metaphor and visual material, provide points of reference to begin understanding our role as gatekeepers and stewards of the land.  Through my travels and research I find what is left behind -- a record often missing key elements, but which nonetheless reveal profound truths. The earth inherits the results of our activities, for good or bad.  This series of prints question and reveal some of the impact of our actions, and hopefully help begin a dialog about how we might create a better world for everyone.

These prints were exhibited at the Main Street Gallery in Groton, NY April 30 - June 6, 2010.  

For those of you who are interested in the larger discussion about the Holocaust effect in contemporary art, please view the following link to a Symposium that took place at the Magnus Museum in Berkeley CA in 2009.  The video is 105 minutes in length.  http://fora.tv/2009/01/25/Symposium_The_Holocaust_Effect_in_Contemporary_Art
