THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF LOVE CANAL

This is strange. I couple of months ago I visited Love Canal and was struck by its eerie atmosphere - the chain link fence without public entrance, the pipes and mysterious measuring equipment, all in an almost park-like setting. I felt compelled to make this drawing. (The ball is a take-off on the hazard symbol used by first responders.)  As I was finishing it, I was surprised to find out that August was the 30th Anniversary of the Love Canal Disaster and Lois Gibbs was in town. Synchronicity?
