"To disregard the environmental impacts of continuing with infinite growth and reproduction submits us to our own definition of consciousness. If we define consciousness as being aware of and responsive to one's surroundings then surely disregarding that definition, by going blindly into reproduction, is a renunciation of our consciousness." -- ...an excerpt from the artwork statement from my newest limited edition print 'Neoteny'. It adresses the most important environmental issue today. Infinite population growth is the only environmental issue that underlies every other environmental issue on this Earth. Let's start talking about it! -- 'Neoteny' is now available at: ♦ www.samuelhumphreys.bigcartel.com♦ Available in an edition of 100. Printed using black & cream vegetable-based inks on 300gsm off-white uncoated matte paper. 100% recycled. -- Aligning with the motif of this illustration, each print also comes with a native Australian tree planted on your behalf by @cncfaus -- -- #populationgrowth #overpopulation #zerodeforestation #recycledpaper #recycled #conservation #fineart #reforest #reforestation #conservationart #environmentalart #nativetrees #neoteny #illustration #woodblock #blacklines #etching https://www.instagram.com/p/Busv7Q-H8oC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ro8oktulo3on
