Part of the Carbon Dating series, this work shows an abstracted deep forest created with gelli printed tissue paper. A figure in the foreground is visible in outline, suggesting the title word contemplation. Collaged lettering created with linocut printing on tissue paper shows the NOAA Global Carbon Dioxide (seasonally adjusted) number for June of 2023, 420.57 parts per million.
The beautiful dreamlike colours are in contrast to the number and the figure, who are bearing witness to the changes in the environment.
