Missing (Primates) bears witness to the demise of particular species and their home ecosystems. We’re living in a time of extinction, even though we can still mostly ignore this in our everyday lives. Researchers estimate that up to half of the species on earth could die off during this century--some say before 2050. My hope is that looking into the eyes of a fellow primate may force us to face this crisis.

This series of etchings depicts individual primates whose survival as a species is threatened. I made the series at Zea Mays Printmaking Studio, using a combination of soy wax soft ground, spit bite aquatint, coffee lift and drypoint.

In comparing current data with bird populations in 1970, scientists were stunned to discover that almost 3 billion birds have disappeared from North America. Birds seem like magical beings when they lift effortlessly into flight; they’ve captivated our attention and imagination for millenia. Their demise hits us hard right in the heart. I enlarged tattered feathers no longer capable of flight to make these very large cyanotypes.

My aim with these images is both to depict individual beings, and to bear witness to their pending disappearance. Most images combine drypoint monoprint with monotype or ink wash.
