Recently I was going through my great grandpa 's trunks full of old photos and
journals that he kept. In his journals I learned that he loved keeping track of the
weather and had a couple of weather gauges that are still here around the house.
His journals became particularly interesting when he seemed to make connections
between the incoming pressure zones and the political climate at the time. From
influenza to a possible war with Mexico. It inspired me to make this print. A pressure
gauge is a useful tool to see a step ahead to act and interact with the climate both
political and environmental. Along with a map and a plant with teeth as symbols of
direction and lifes adaptability.
