In a richly detailed, allegorical drawing, the vignettes of Water Ways tell the political, social, economic and ecological stories of the impact of the natural gas industry on the land and water. The stories depicted are based on events from the recent history of fracking, the politics behind the industry, and the various forms of resistance to it. The characters are played by animals and plants: by employing the beings most immediately dependent on the ecosystem to tell human tales, the drawings both play on our natural sympathy for story-telling animals, and irrevocably binds our stories with those of the other living beings who share our land and water.
