![Featured in “Louisiana Contemporary,” presented by The Helis Foundation is @mosfindley_art’s “Teaching the Cats About Climate Change.”
In her artist statement, Findley shares, “Why would anyone try to explain to cats that we humans have caused irrevocable harm to our environment through our burning of fossil fuels? It is a futile task, riddled with moral questions and ambiguities. Should innocent creatures be burdened with knowledge of an immense tragedy they did not create, but must eventually suffer? Should we even try, knowing they won’t grasp the gravity of the situation? Is it crueler to let them experience the hell we have created without our explanations as to why disasters are happening with increasing damage and frequency? I ask these questions as I afflict more climate change data on myself, powerless as the cats to stop the impending disaster.”
“Louisiana Contemporary,” presented by The Helis Foundation, is on view at the O through October 13, 2024.
