Artist Statement:
It is always a joy to work with the Climate Science Alliance. Their dedication to making science accessible makes for the perfect collaboration platform. This most recent project illustrates the personal stories behind the Connecting Wildlands and Communities research. I attended technical advisory group meetings as well as interviewed researchers, stakeholders, and practitioners about why their work matters and how the Connecting Wildlands and Communities data will be implemented on the ground. We talked about loss, hope, challenge, and change. My goal with this piece was to show that this research does more than assess the current situation, but also works as a tool to understand how change will affect our communities and what we can do to help. The stories behind this project are heartfelt, passionate, and hopeful. I hope that you enjoy.
