“Biggest Cracker” is one from my series called “Code Crackers”. This piece deals specifically with the environmental issues of obtaining energy resources and the burden this puts on our fellow animals. Humans attempt to “crack the code” and solve the mystery of our finite resources through industrialized means that put our animal brethren and ourselves in jeopardy.
Painted on Arches archival hot-pressed paper, “Biggest Cracker” features a realistically depicted peregrine falcon bust that drips into the stark white background. Three deep red elongated pyramids float at bottom which symbolized an industrialized world. A spray of teal blue at the top of the piece represents the chaotic struggle of wildlife survival in the modern world. Signed, framed and ready to hang.
