RUPTURE
Annie Duffy, Fairbanks

Pivotal moments in time and "happenstance" have widespread effects upon our lives. The Exxon Valdez incident and the resulting environmental devastation were, in many ways, a direct result of a series of these moments. In this piece I seek to evoke a sense of the hull rupture, the catastrophic event that effected both nature and man so profoundly that the ramifications can still be felt today.
