Here's your precious oil

"Here's your precious oil"

by JenavieveMarie

Artist statement:

"I am not some animal fanatic, but I can't imagine humans would

ever know what it is like

to choke on oil, to be blinded by it, to be weighted down by it

to the point of just dying

because it fills your nose, your mouth, your eyes.

This is acrylic paint and even the smell of it and the feel of it on my skin

sent me reeling,

to be completely drenched in oil

would be torture,

not to mention the problems it will be causing for people soon, too. It will begin to affect more than the animals and natural environment pretty soon."
