Drawing Attention to Climate Change with Sharon Field: 3,000 days... and counting...
Concerned by visions of distressed ecosystems and confronted by the United Nation’s IPCC 2021 report referencing the need to draw down excess carbon from the atmosphere before 2030, Sharon Field counted the days. There were around 3000 days from 2021 to 2030. Sharon challenged herself to make a drawing or painting every day for the next 3,000 days. Inspired by botanical art’s classical history, she chose a scroll to tell a story that she hoped would have a lasting visual impact in people’s minds.
In this presentation, Sharon will discuss her efforts to combat climate change through her scroll project. She will explain her process as she continues to add to the already over 25-meter-long scroll, which features more than 750 drawings of plants and their pollinators. Finally, Sharon will talk about the response and impact of this large-scale project.
Funds raised from this webinar will be allocated to the ASBA Acorn Fund.
