ICARUS COMPLEX #4

Icarus Complex is a publication that takes an in-depth look at the issues surrounding climate change. On the ashen cover of the subject of this month’s It's thing one thing, a single person struggles through a dust-covered street, bin bag upon bin bag piled upon their back.

The image, titled ‘The Furies (Titian, again) 2012’, is by interdisciplinary artist Mary Mattingly who’s core work explores themes of ‘home, travel, cartography, and humans relationships with each other, the environment, with machines, and with corporate and political entities.’ It’s at once a powerful, complex and troubling image—and a fair indication of the (necessarily) earnest climate-based content to follow.
