“I was trying to bring a lot of energy into the way these things were painted and a lot of movement and a lot of direction, because these elements that we’re depicting are forces.” – Meg Reinhold
“I’d like us to look up and to see, to take our head out of our own business and to see the bigger picture…And to take a big wide look at our lifestyle and our culture and see if there are things that we can change and [ask] how can we positively affect the culture of people around us? What is it that we can do to support climate crisis? How can we support the housing crisis? What are the actual things that we can do to provide sustainable change?” – Thea Alvin
