uc2: Survival Biscuit


Survival Biscuit is a collection of visual expressions of our experiences, reactions, emotions and opinions surrounding the immediate crisis of global warming. Contained in a 1962 biscuit tin from a fallout shelter, the combined leaves operate as a new act for survival, illustrating a variety of underlying issues, providing visual activations, and an overall understanding of our current worldwide crisis.


Pulling from the environment and traditional artistic methods, each leaf is created with natural mediums to reflect the personal connection attained throughout the creative process. By exploring alternative methods, Survival Biscuit gives an authentic presentation using a variety of materials such as wood block printing, collage, stitching, hand-drawn illustrations, and painting on recycled paper from Fox River Paper. Each leaf of Survival Biscuit is unique.
