“Wash Away the Warnings” 🌍

This July, I’m bringing this piece to the Festa Internacional de la Ceràmica in Manises, Spain. “Wash Away the Warnings” sheds light on the relentless challenges of industrial contamination and the collective endeavor to cleanse our environment.

Inspired by my firsthand experiences at the USEC Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, this artwork features a central image of a stray spray bottle adorned with a radiation symbol, embodying our struggles against persistent environmental threats. Accompanied by a figure in a respirator and a tainted wine glass, the painting poignantly captures the widespread impact of pollutants that infiltrate every aspect of our lives.

As we gather in Manises, let’s reflect on the vital changes needed to safeguard our health and our planet for future generations.

📅 On view at the Festa Internacional de la Ceràmica, Manises, Spain, from July 13-14
