“ClimatiC-NiChe evolutioN” mix media, self-initiated, 2016» Exhibited at the Dishman Art Museum, Lamar University.

In ecology, a niche is a term related to the behavior of species living under specific environmental conditions. Studies show that the speed of evolutionary change is far outstripped by the rate of global warming, meaning many creatures will face extinction due to climate change. In The Sixth Extinction, Richard Leakey and Roger Lewin consider how the grand sprawl of human life is inexorably wreaking havoc around the world. Humans have the unique opportunity to recognize their influence on the global ecosystem, and consciously steer the outcome in order to avoid triggering an unimaginable upheaval. This artwork showcases the latest most endangered species that tragically are about to become extinct within my lifetime.

PreParation of the Parallel Bars

The parallel bars should be set to the height of the patient’s wrists when the arms are resting at the side. The hands should have an

open grasp of the parallel bars; the fingers are open and not gripping the bars. The patient’s weight is placed through the palms onto

the bars. Practicing with this open hand position will make it easier for the patient to transition to walking outside of the parallel bars

with an assistive device.
