I believe that to save the planet we need to tackle the vice that consumes us all - avarice. When there is money to be made, the environment and workers go to hell - become expandable. Someone always gets rich and someone always get sick. Our degrading planet is linked inextricable to our greed.
A is for Avarice. A is for Alienate.
Avarice that makes for an unfair economic order around the world is destroying the planet and it is destroying us. To fight it I believe we need to see ourselves as communities, not commodities. We need to stay true to our differences.
My paintings depict this destruction, not just in our planet but in our communities, in our identities.
Robonut power is the power of A - to accommodate, adjust, adapt and affirm. To save the planet, Robonut, brings affirmation to our identities and to our differences. Robonut wants to be less like him (automatons; cogs). To Robonut, respecting diversity comes from respecting biodiversity which in turns shouts the message - stopping hurting Mother Nature for profit.
