Owen Dreams Of Atomic Sheep, Jetsonorama and Uranium


A friend of mine has started using portraits of children in combination with radioactive sheep to draw attention to the high levels of uranium contamination with in the Navajo Nation.  A fascinating use of the child to queer futurity. 

"The Times article quotes Doug Brugge, a public health professor at Tufts University medical school and an expert on uranium, “If this level of radioactivity were found in a middle-class suburb, the response would be immediate and aggressive.”"
