Inspired by photos and videos of the water in East Palestine, Ohio following the catastrophic train derailment in February 2023, and the appalling efforts to cover up the impact of the chemical spill by Norfolk Southern, “Something in the Water” reflects just the latest in an endless series of attacks on the natural world, and all who inhabit it, by those who stand to profit from it. As if we can’t plainly see — there’s something in the water.
Knit, crochet, acrylic, 2023. 16x20”, mounted in black wood floater frame.
