artist's statement
The Humpty Dumpty
video installation was a part of the Coal and Ice
exhibit, in conjunction with the 2018 San Francisco Climate Change
Action Summit. The piece addressed the impact of climate change on our
fragile planet. Small children inhabit a tenuous environment constructed
of trash, shadows and light. They play, jump and fly, sometimes
delighted and other times fearful and confused by the world they're
newly experiencing.
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the king's horses and all the king's men
could not put Humpty together again.
Now Mother Earth She sit on that wall
And Mother Earth, she 'bout to fall
And all of the women and all of the men
Can't ever put her together again.
Get woke, people, get woke.
