What are Mark Carney’s Liberals, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives and other federal parties promising when it comes to climate change, the oil and gas industry, mining and the environment? Here’s what we know so far:

The start of this project has been so finicky that it has made me not want to work on it. But now that finicky part is over and I get to move on to the fun stuff!

Coming very late to #printpromptmonday with this big installation I made in 2019, Lesser Bodies. It’s about the collapse of chimney swift populations in the US. Not in the water, but I was inspired by the motion of water circling a drain.

This is a lovely, feel-good story if you need one, about art, shipping disasters, and strangers brought together in an effort to make things right.
You can catch the radio story on The Current podcast too, and hear how the artist and teacher have become friends and what this meant to them both.

An Ontario teacher found works of art in the bargain bin. So she set out to find their creator | CBC Radio
While questions remain about how the sculptures ended up for sale, the teacher and the artist say theirs is a story about friendship — and the kindness of strangers.

It is not too late to act on climate change because climate change is not pass/fail. Every faction of a degree matters and is worth fighting for.
That's not propaganda or wishful thinking. It's evidence-based. Suggesting otherwise is as unscientific as climate denial, and just as damaging.

Finally back in the studio after a long hiatus. This is the start of a piece about #biodiversity and the impact of light #pollution.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar is "The Problem With Billionaires" - all about how tech-bro billionaires are elbowing their way into the #climate space, betting on shiny tech fixes, and swaying policy in favour of solutions that benefit them and don't require them to change a damn thing.

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar is for the #ClimateChange folx. It's called "Smokescreen" and it's about the fossil fuel industry's dirty, shameless, and persistent misinformation campaign built on Big Tobacco's playbook (with some dirty tricks of its own).

Since there are a lot of ocean folx in my feed, how about this #ArtAdventCalendar contribution: "Everything We Touch" (from my #anthropocene series) - inspired by how NOAA found a can of Spam and a can of Bud at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. sperlingmosaics.com/2019/08/noth...

Today's contribution to #ArtAdventCalendar: "Shell Game" is a #ClimateChange mosaic all about how Big Oil is banking on plastic to keep it profitable. (Yep all those white bits are plastic.)

Oh hey everyone! What better way to introduce myself to the Bluesky world than by participating in #ArtAdventCalendar! Here's "To aid and abet" - part of my mosaic series about #ClimateChange. This one's all about the cozy relationship between extractive industries and law enforcement.
