Extraction (2021), linocut on paper, edition of 5+AP
How do we engage with extinct ecologies and fossil life? Study or consumption? Discovery or destruction? In answer, this print juxtaposes an azhdarchid pterosaur, recently proposed to be a top predator, and an oil derrick.
You can buy a print in this edition on my gumroad store!

68 million years ago in the middle of what is now the Javelina Formation of Texas, a single huge Alamosaurus carcass has attracted the appetites of a wide variety of hungry carnivores: a flock of enantiornids, two troodontids, a pair of Quetzalcoatlus nothropi, and a lone Tyrannosaurus rex.
