ART STATEMENT FOR “INSPIRATION”
by Thom Wright, 2017
Our historic past, the present on the cusp, and the uncertain future
Mankind and Nature are now at war with each other
Humanity’s growth, pollution and destruction seem uncontrollable
Consequently, Climate Change seems unstoppable
But this coming catastrophe is self-generated, and potentially reversible
With new technologies, new behaviors and adaptations
Inspire leaders and us to find directions, take actions and set limits
Without succumbing to global internecine war
Eventually to reach a sustainable and interdependent balance
