Created specifically for the Hi-Vis exhibition at the Buffalo Albright Knox Museum , the “Entropic Edifice” diptych builds on themes from the mural I created for the museum’s public art program in 2022.

Hi-Vis opens this Friday, February 21st and remains on view through June 9th!

For this year’s Climate Week I had the opportunity to collaborate with the scientific community and interpret some of ‘s climate research in the form of a layered painted sail installation on the terrace of the .

The work incorporates patterns created by heat maps generated by decades of climate research. These particular maps illustrate heat anomalies of the ocean’s surface temperature and the relationship between rising atmospheric temperatures and last year’s unprecedented Canadian wildfires that affected air quality over much of the North East and Mid West. As the work hangs above our heads it illustrates how multiple cascading factors are overlapping to create the urgent global crisis we find ourselves in now.
