Artist Statement:

‘On Fire’ is what I call an earth gasp – the land reacting to us and the changing environment. It is land burning because of human irresponsibility, lightning strikes, and rising temperatures. We are getting hotter faster than any previous times in history, and according to the World Health Organization, ‘The average heat waves across the US is about 46 days longer than it was in the 1960’s and have become more intense over time. ‘On Fire’ is a visual reminder to tend to the land and our environment; what we do or don’t do affects what happens next.
