Artist Statement:
Degrees of Extinction is a 5 part work that responds and tries to make sense of how the earth's future is tied so heavily to predicted global average temperature rise due to greenhouse gas emissions. Serving as a sign post of warnings from 1 to 5 degrees, the images used speak to the places and classes of species seeing the greatest change in the climate story. The animals chosen are ment to point to how we falsely idolize certain species over others from bunnies to butterflies.
