Extreme Weather 2

From a spring 2025 body of work, Extreme Weather 2 is a dimensional, tactile fiber piece composed of wool, cotton, and other reclaimed yarns. These materials are worked onto custom laser-cut wood panels and affixed to red oak plywood with gold truss-head fasteners, foregrounding both materiality and structure. The work is informed by the artist’s concern over the growing regularity of unprecedented weather events. Storms upend communities, overturning familiar landscapes and destabilizing daily life. Entire regions are displaced, livelihoods erased, and long-term trauma persists as people struggle to rebuild. The piece asks why Earth’s climate systems are no longer operating within historically stable bounds, and whether these disruptions constitute a warning. Drawing on Indigenous knowledge systems and ancestral stories that caution against taking nature for granted, the work ultimately asks a quieter but urgent question: are we listening? The final work is approximately 25.5"h x 28"w x 2"d  **Actual shipping charge (if necessary) will be calculated and adjusted as needed.**
