“How Do You Know When You Are Living Through A Mass Extinction?”
“Should I Buy A Gun?”
"Questions for a Dinosaur" is a print series for people living on a rapidly warming planet. Each piece pairs a portrait of the artist in dinosaur costume with a question rooted in our living experience of mass extinction. Taken together, "Questions for a Dinosaur" chart a playful route to new vocabularies for communicating the profound experience of living through climate crisis.
