About the Item

Limited Edition Color Photograph - Climate Change " Loss " 2021 In my series Fading Blue Marble, I address the most chilling threat to humanity beyond the present pandemic, our changing climate. My images explore a disturbing vision of the near future when immense heat becomes a major threat. I was motivated to create these images as a result of my gaining a deeper understanding of the science and human impact of climate change. We hear from scientists that a 2 degree rise in temperature is a tipping point to disaster. At this tipping point, the ice caps melt, 1.8 trillion tons of carbon are released into the atmosphere including the greenhouse gas methane. Methane is 34 times as powerful as carbon as an earth warming blanket. These photographs are a visual depiction of post tipping point; an irreversible 3 to 6 degree temperature increase in a world of flood, drought, wildfire and scarcity of resources. Ironically, these scenarios can be visually interesting and simultaneously horrific. The title of this portfolio is a reference to ‘The Blue Marble’ which is the name given by NASA to the photo of the entire earth taken from space in 1972 and since adopted as a symbol for the environmental movement. In my images, our “marble” or earth is fading but not yet darkened as there is still a short time left to apply urgent corrections. This series is created to show potential scenarios if we go beyond the tipping point with the hope that these imagined visions of future living don’t become a reality. About: Lewis’ artistic practice often explores science, engineering, technology, and innovation. His intention is to create work that communicates the importance of the search for truth based on science and how the physical world looks and works. The images engage physics, mechanics and creative thinking that often evokes an innovation process. Many photographs are abstract however, he also has a strong affinity for the environment, reflected in his photographs that often include elements of water and sky. Lewis started photographing when he was a teenager and continued through film school. He went on to work for many years as an advertising and editorial photographer where he photographed for international clients like Taylor Wines and General Foods. Lewis’ fine art photographs have been exhibited in galleries and cultural centers internationally, including the Gladstone Regional Museum and Gallery in Queensland, Australia, Florida Museum of Photographic Arts in Tampa; the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pennsylvania; the Alden B. Dow Museum of Science in Midland, Michigan; the New York Center for Photographic Arts; He is also represented in several major corporate collections.
