Part of my "Futurescape" group of sculptures, this piece reflects my fears about global climate change. It is a wall hanging sculpture, depicting two women, barefoot and wearing tattered clothing, who have discovered … to their amazement … a TREE! … in the vast wasteland.

It sits high above, on an insurmountable cliff. Is it a good omen? or the last vestige of life as it used to be?

This sculpture is made of wood, paper mache, and paint; with figures made of pewter with copper accent and brass fastening (not visible).

It is 25.5 inches high x 14.25 wide x 3.5 inches deep.

This sculpture ships free to the contiguous 48 US states. If you need to have it shipped somewhere else, let me know the address, and I can can give you a shipping quote.

My vision is a stark one. As the world reals form the war in The Ukraine, and the devastation caused by that war, it (the world) continues to make only minimal efforts to arrest the carbon emissions that will ultimately cause exponentially greater damage worldwide.

I am not an optimist. I do not believe that humankind will solve this problem in time. To do so would require the climbing two preverbal mountains by decision makers all over the world.

The first mountain is finding the wisdom to accept the teachings of Bill McKibben and other environmentalists.

The second peak is to ACT, decisively, effectively ... and to do it NOW. That is, undertake LARGE SCALE, WORLDWIDE activities to end the burning of coal by human beings. Yes, please do something about burning other fossil fuels too, but coal is the monster.

I am not optimistic …. I fear for my children, I fear for my grandchildren. PLEASE prove me wrong.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this sculpture will be donated to https://350.org, Bill McKibbens’ not for profit.

If you don’t purchase this sculpture, please make your own contribution to https://350.org, or to a similar organization.
