Environmental Issues at Rochester Greenovation Community Gallery

The Secretary's Desk; pencil on paper, 24" x 18"
From October 20 to November 17 the Rochester Greenovation Community Gallery, 1199 E. Main Street in Rochester, is exhibiting artwork with themes of political, social, and environmental issues.  On the latter, I decided to enter The Secretary's Desk into the show. 

The Secretary’s Desk concerns the problem of extinction that goes along with evolutionary development.  Although extinction may be in the natural course of biological events, it is the case that there have been needless extinctions caused by human interference.  

How much this may damage the Earth’s ecosystems is difficult to say, but it is likely not worth the risk to continue in ignorance.  Noted within the drawing are extinct plant and animal species, a skull of Homo Sapiens warns of this possible future for ourselves.
