The two prints as diptych: Water Is Life and No Water No Life.

Created for the Water Docs Film Festival #waterdocsartivism challenge theme “Water is life: interconnection”

I wanted to make some new art for the #WaterDocsARTivism challenge for the theme ‘Water is Life: Interconnection’.

American scientist & suffragette Eunice Foote (1819-1888) discovered the greenhouse effect,
that certain gases…
