Stop Motion Animations for Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops

It was an honor to be invited to make a series of animations to accompany Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops, a new film series that aims to raise awareness about this urgent issue. This animation focuses on atmospheric feedback loops and how they’re impacting our climate.

Launched earlier this year by Greta Thunberg and the Dalai Lama and narrated by Richard Gere, the series explains how fossil fuel emissions have been causing warming loops that are raising Earth’s temperature higher and higher. The films show how this phenomenon is at work in forests, permafrost, the atmosphere, and the albedo effect at Earth’s poles. I learned so much from this series — including reasons to be optimistic about solutions we must work towards — and hope others will too.

To watch the films and for more information please visit: https://feedbackloopsclimate.com

Commissioned Portrait of Paul Robeson at the Zimmerli Art Museum

I’m honored to have been asked to paint a portrait of Paul Robeson for the Paul Robeson Legacy Project, in commemoration of the centennial of his graduation from Rutgers University. Paul Robeson’s legacy as a global activist, scholar, singer, athlete, and actor is truly extraordinary. Many thanks to the Zimmerli Art Museum for this opportunity!

Thank you also to NJTV for interviewing me for this segment on Paul Robeson’s legacy and the exhibition. The exhibition is on view at the Zimmerli until April 28th.
