John Willis (American, b. 1976) Recycled Realities #1 has inspired me to submit this image. This image is my ode to a facet of our insensitivity to our environment, the constant destroying and transforming of earth’s treasures (iron ore, natural gas etc.) for our own selfish needs. “Machine Shop, Our Enduring Legacy” is a visual metaphor for our theft of natural resources and the un-erasable scars and objects that we haphazardly discard on our planet.

Portrait of one my my favorite cats, Benji… He was a long haired beauty! Cats are the most majestic domesticated creatures and Benji was a prime example.
