"The
Dodo Egg"
2007
Oil and Egg Tempera on Board
5.5 x 7 in (14 x 18cm), not including frame
Human-caused extinctions, past present and future, are a little-explored
theme of human history, but one I feel compelled to address
in my art. Every day, more of our fellow Earth species are being
permanently eradicated. The devastation colors the sea in this
painting with blood. The girl in the painting is attempting
to rescue the last dodo egg? imagine the preciousness of such
an egg! But for her boat, she has only the leftover bones of
the slaughtered birds. She will not succeed. Can we?
