"The Fall of Fossil Fuels"

Eco art from "The Coal War" 2008 Carbon Reduction through art

My current exhibit represents a three-year struggle to bring biomass energy to the forefront of Kentucky Industry, Agriculture and Politics. As we struggle with energy issues, we are constantly reminded of the cultural and economic conflict posed by modern energy consumption, production methods and impending carbon footprint mitigation requirements. As an artist, I seek to introduce the concept of an organic paradigm shift into the modern consciousness through postmodern digital images. “The Coal War” frames energy from a modern context as viewed through the lens of a modern day bioenergy developer.

My work explores modern energy conflict. I construct organisms and place them into interactive circumstances against fictional landscapes. They project energy. They change shape and dimension.

The influence that one organism places over another when it releases energy affects the balance between organism and ether, between the real and the understood. Colors shift. Enigmatic curtains emerge from layers of overlapping space as the viewer travels backward through this landscape of nonobjective universes. Conflict erupts between organisms. Galaxies of organisms generate corruptive influence as they expand into the ether, as they struggle for dominance, independence and equilibrium. The assertion energy releases gas which changes the nature of the ethos. Without a method to reduce the gas effectively, the organisms of one galaxy are so influenced by the ethos of another that they may weaken and eventually die as a species to be replaced by another.

Energy wars are driven by the policies of the influential, which affect the unexpecting so generously by giving birth to chaos in the ether and annihilating unsuspecting galaxies.

These are snapshots of that struggle.
