Artist Statement

The idea behind ‘Gaia’ came from reading the works of James Lovelock, an earth scientist who developed the theory that our planet is one living, connected ecosystem where everything is affected by each other. This stained glass panel considers our future on Earth as a species & how our planet is being affected by climate change.
