How Many More? Andrea Pottyondy 8 x 8 mixed mediaWorld Environment Day, commemorated each year on June 5th, is one of the principal vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and action.
I incorporated the years and themes for World Environment Day featured since 1974 into the art work by printing data on vellum and by applying it over a fractured earth with a thick layer of acrylic gel medium. This process achieved a wrinkled effect to symbolize the eventual ice age that will result from global warming!
The artworks aim is to ask myself and the viewer what will it take to apply action instead of words (since we seem to know what the problems are) to save earth from the ravages of global warming and the inevitability of our own extinction.
