Artist Statement:

     I was born in the Galveston County—not far from the coast. Hurricanes are not an uncommon occurrence. Recently, it seems more powerful storms are hitting the shores more frequently. I have seen my community completely torn apart and washed away by strong winds and flooding waters. I have seen my community ban together to rebuild, only to be knocked down again next hurricane season. In this piece, I present the viewer with the swirling, violent destruction that hurricanes cause. If nothing is done about our climate, severely destructive storms will only continue to tear us down.

 

Curator Science Comment:

WEATHER/CLIMATE DISASTERS.  In the United States, billion-dollar disasters have been increasing since 1980.  In 2017 a record was set, with 16 billion -dollar disasters costing about $360 billion. –A. Northcutt
