I made two more pieces for Nature, Fashion & War. Here is one. “Please HELP”. 22” x 30” ##########################"Nature, Fashion & War" opens April 6th at Living Arts in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Here is the statement and some images....Please share widely. In "Nature, Fashion & War" Julie Peppito has created fantastical large-scale charcoals and tapestries that draw connections between the human desire to want more of everything versus the destructive impact our consumerism has on the environment and the survival of our species. The colorful, multi-layered, fashion-inspired tapestries in "Nature, Fashion & War" contain objects that were on their way to becoming trash. At one time these items were desirable status symbols or served a functional purpose. By smashing, wrapping, and sewing old shoes, clothes, toys, jewelry, cans, and other debris into pliable surfaces, then combining them with carefully painted and drawn images of politicians, nature, people, and monsters, Peppito creates topographical narratives that comment on the systems destroying life on earth. She has created an exhibition that speaks to the catastrophic effects unregulated industries are having on us, the role human nature plays in that, our coping mechanisms, and strategies towards a healthy inhabitable world. Her titles often reference books and articles from notable journalists like Naomi Klein, Jane Mayer, Sharon Lerner, Brene Brown and Arundati Roy. Since the recent re-invention of "fake news" Peppito set out to create mammoth illustrations interspersed with giant word balloons inspired by these authors' well-researched works. Peppito's complex visual expression illuminates the intricate web of violence, greed, love and beauty that comprise human nature. She intends to help tip the future towards our positive instincts and away from those hurling us towards extinction. #naturefashionandwar #naturefashionwar ##noisnotenough @theintercept @livingarts1969 @artinamericamag @artnewsmag @hyperallergic @jerrysaltz @tulsapeople @thetulsavoice @pine.magazine #watercolor

MRS running ads targeting protectors, voters rights being given up by our representatives, handicapped people being dragged away by the people their tax dollars support, our friends being gunned down in the streets by people that are supposed to protect them, our National Parks turned into glorified hunting preserves for the wealthy, people getting shut out of our country due to their religion. #resisttyranny #freeamerica #blm #savethewolves #savethegrizzlies #savegoliath #alternativefactsarelies #rockthevote #takebacktheepa #noisnotenough (at Miami, Florida)
