ENTROPY

A photographic exploration detailing the poetry and fragility of nature amidst the tragedy of climate change

Since 1998, mixed-media artist Diane Tuft has travelled the world recording the environmental factors shaping Earth's landscape. Entropy is Tuft's fourth monograph capturing the sublime and awe-inspiring beauty of nature as it is radically transformed under the unrelenting pressures of climate change.

Focused specifically on water as its subject, Tuft contrasts global sea-level rise with water depletion in Utah's Great Salt Lake. Compelling essays by prominent figures in art and science contributed by Bonnie K. Baxter, Ph.D., Professor of Biology and Director of Great Salt Lake Institute at Westminster University and twentieth-century art historian Stacey Epstein, Ph.D. add depth and insight to Tuft's work and its significance in the context of climate change and the exquisite collection of photographs provide a captivating glimpse into the rapidly changing landscapes of our world.

Weaving passages of haiku with her beguiling photographs, and packaged in a luxe-cloth-wrapped case screenprinted with Tuft's artwork featuring the Great Salt Lake, Journey's End, this extraordinary book is a dramatic call to arms inspiring collective action for the critical preservation of nature.
