The solutions to the changing climate, although in the news frequently, do not seem to be easy for most people to contemplate. Part of the problem with getting people to engage with climate change is that it exists mainly as an idea that comes to us through science, and many people hold the communications of science at a remove from their everyday lives. Climate change is not yet integrated into our society culturally, through the arts. Engaging with climate change through art gives us a chance to bring this topic into an accessible, human-scaled arena. "When we love one another the most delicate truth of that love is held in the spirit, but my body is the record of those I have loved. I feel their bones as my bones, almost literally. This record is autonomous. It continues, dumbly, to persist. Its power is independent of time. The love is fixed, instantly accessible to memory, somehow stained into my body as colour into cloth."

I had turned it off hours before, because I could not stand to watch. Every year I remember. ink, pencil & charcoal on tracing paper, 7 x 10 cm
