Description of Process for this Submission
I Want You To Panic
The urgent call to action from a school child can cut through the noise of the loud (and male) political climate deniers. Climate change is not a 'political artefact' or 'gigantic false alarm' . As Greta Thunberg says, we need to act as if our house if on fire. Keeping the global temperature rise to only 1.5 degrees will give the young a fighting chance. Climate Denier Quotes from: N. Lawson, C. Booker, R. Spencer, J. Inhofe. Cut through with a quote from Greta Thunberg. - Letterpress prints collaged together (I only have a small proofing press) using own ink ground from recovered pure carbon black pigment extracted from end-of-life tyres and waste Fluoro ink on disused bill posters pulled from a wall in Berlin.
