The Last Tree in Ireland is a collection of 12 etchings which have as their theme a location in the far west of Ireland on Mweenish island at the tip of the Carna Peninsula. The subject is the degradation of the landscape, the threat of rising sea levels, greatly disturbed weather patterns, and global warming. This is a warning for our time.
