press release: The artist, Abbie Kurtz, states:

I cope with the tragedy of climate change through art. Climate change is agonizingly familiar to those of us experiencing and witnessing flooding and other weather extremes. My pieces – Wisconsin climate change maps superimposed on familiar highway maps, yielding attractive abstract forms – combine art’s beauty and frightening reality.
