Nature, nature, nature.

Nature, nature, nature.  (for proper tone of voice, click here.)  Here's another series I want to do on the idea of mankind taking over nature and nature taking it back.  Even if we fuck up this earth so much that it's ultimately inhabitable by human beings, it will survive, bounce back even.  It may take a billion years, but it will happen.  Geological time is unimaginably vast for a human or human mind but not for nature.

This piece below, "Pess/Op" is a diptych with the top piece showing pollution permeating and the bottom showing the earth taking back: pessimistic and optimistic points of view.  The title also references the Op-art movement that used groovy dots and lines and swirls to create optical effects.

As I envisioned them, other pieces in this series would use two images, one on top of the other, to deal with the same theme but in different ways: one image ripped away to show the image underneath, one image with cut out letters spelling, say, TIME, revealing the image underneath in the shape of those letters and so on.
