Drought Runes, silkscreen, clay, cloth bag, handmade book, dimensions variable

This set of runes is made from photographs that I have taken of cracks in the dry earth during the drought. To me, the marks in the earth resemble an ancient form of divination called the Viking Runes and can be used to divine a portentous message about climate change and our own fortunes.

The examples below are some of the original photographs of the dry cracked ground, and the Viking Book of Runes: A Handbook for the Use of an Ancient Oracle. (the set shown courtesy of Ralph Blum, Creative Commons)
The images I photographed bear a remarkable resemblance to these ancient symbols, and all are unedited apart from applying them to film for screen printing the final set and book.
