With this series of work, I was exploring the nature of our response to the climate crisis, and what tools we have as a culture to respond to a crisis that threatens the foundation of all meaning for humans. Spiritual traditions, cultural practices, music and art, can help provide some context and a response to the threat. We don't yet have a set of cultural or spiritual symbols, rituals and traditions to help us understand and cope with the enormous transformation caused by climate change. So this work was in reaction to that observation, and to repurposing symbols from my own spiritual and cultural and activist traditions in response this global crisis we face. A recurring theme in faith traditions is the prophetic voice  – voices that teach us, warn us, guide us, voices that help us navigate this moment we inhabit. Sentinel species, those that are highly attuned to their world, and signal trouble, are prophetic voices. This is an altarpiece to the prophetic non-human voices of the climate chaos epoch.
