Since the 70’s I have been studying the impact of economics on the environment. Exploring topics like genetically engineered foods, clean water, and the rights of nature, I have sought to make visible changes, which occur over time, or on a microscopic scale.

The works represented here relate to the impact of fossil fuel extraction on habitat and life forms.

Leaping Clear is happy to present Christy Rupp’s animated video, Macondo Blowout.
