Thanks, Dawn for asking me to join. I have been "lost in space" for a few weeks due to the madness of my "home-life". Everything is in flux..... Change is causing more change and now nothing is as it once was. I shall do my best to involve myself with this group and put behind me all the negativity that tries so hard to unset my balance.

This painting of Manhattan tells so much of my story. Did you know that I completed this painting in 2000 - long before the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center? The image came to me in a dream - as many of my paintings do.

When such experts tell it to 'US' straight like this, surely we have a duty as artists to make a noise about it and try through our art create a difference?
I would just like you to take a moment out and read Bill Maguire's letter statement to me.

I hope I can get artists behind me and Galleries too help make a difference to our planet.


Hi Dawn,

Please find my supporting statement attached.

Sorry for the delay.

Best wishes
Bill


Climate change is here and happening now. Each and every one of us in the developed world must shoulder some of the blame for the greatest threat to our planet and civilisation, and each and every one of us must act now to do whatever we can to prevent our children and their children facing the awful reality of environmental degradation, economic breakdown and social chaos. Carbon Footprints in Art is a brilliant way of reinforcing the fact that cutting greenhouse gas emissions and reducing the size of our carbon footprints needs to be integrated into all aspects of our lives, and as such must be part of the cultural, as well as the scientific and political, landscape. I urge all artists to join the project, and to donate a small part of their sales to green initiatives that will help to mitigate climate change, and encourage everyone else to view these wonderful works of art, put their hands in their pockets, and do their bit to ensure that our descendants inherit a world worth living in.

Professor Bill McGuire is Director of the Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre at University College London. His new book, SEVEN YEARS TO SAVE THE PLANET, is published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson.
