Image Statement: The news allows us nearly daily to reassess and revise our thoughts on environmental changes and the divides between science, politics, and business on this issue. Explosive and unprecedented fires, hurricanes and tornadoes, dramatic ice melt, droughts, heat waves and warming ocean waters have become common destructive events. Surgical stitches and the longer threads that trail off the art together contemplate whether there ever will be enough thread for all the needed repairs.
