HOW DID WE GET HERE AND WHERE ARE WE GOING?
HOW DID WE GET HERE AND WHERE ARE WE GOING?, consists of two series of lithographic prints, All I’ve Seen, and Encounters on a Hog Farm and a self- portrait titled It Weighs on You Like Heavy Rain.
My work explores industrial farming and the impact of it on animals, communities, and the environment. I create work through my experiences working around Hog confinements in Iowa.
