down to the bone 

“As sobering as the images are, there is also a poignancy that quietly screams ‘Not yet’. Your real and imagined creatures not only look out at us, they reflect us. We may be down to the bone, but are we out? There is no walking away from such an urgent question when it is so beautifully and eloquently asked.”

— David Macaulay, McArthur Fellow and Author/Illustrator of The Way Things Work

"These remarkable images need to be seen, and widely. We risk trading the splendor of our world for bones and ash. And nothing I've seen has ever made that clearer."

- Bill McKibben, Founder of 350.Org and Author of The End of Nature

“Please tell Steve how proud I am of the work he has pulled together — it really makes the challenge of climate change so visible and visceral. While few people remain in open denial of climate change, so many are afraid to embrace the opportunities already available that can start the change we need. But change is hard — even when it can make our lives better today in so many ways.

”My hope is that the old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words” proves to be true when folks visit the exhibit that Steve and Edward Koren have pulled together. If not, I may just have to continue to give more endless speeches to try to get folks to move with the scope and pace that science demands. Who would want that?”

— Gina McCarthy, President Biden‘s National Climate Advisor and Secretary of the EPA Under President Obama

“I'd recommend this exhibit for any museum interested in sumptuous, yet daunting photography and witty illustrations united in their concern for the environment. A clever pairing of contrasting aesthetic sensibilities and media, the exhibit's environmental message is loud and clear: The canary in the coal mine is screaming and the world should be paying attention.” Dr. David J. Wagner, President and Curator of David J. Wagner, L.L.C.
