“The Needle And The Damage Done” (2017) - Digital Collage - Anthony D Kelly

Part of the Reflections On An Age of Anxiety Series. The Needle And The Damage Done is a Digital Collage which aches with the pain of the growing epidemic in Opioid related addiction and overdose.

As the danger has become clearer and regulations have tightened on the prescription of Oxycodone; Individuals already caught in a cycle of addiction are turning to both Heroin and Fentanyl, Oxycodone's more potent, more addictive and more lethal cousins to fill the void.

The Anthropocene is defined as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. We are told that extinction rates are rising, celebrities are dying, the oceans are becoming acidified, genetic diversity is waning and that even the Great Barrier Reef may no longer be salvagable. All the while plans are being made for some of us to to reach Mars for a chance to establish a colony and to begin anew.
