    sculpture: wire, paper-mache, and collaged archival photo

    Fracking, a much debated process of drilling for oil and gas is the topic of Frack Fever. Fracking is the focus of strongly opposing opinions as featured in a number of controversial documentaries such as FrackNation and Gasland. These opposing opinions are featured in the design of this plate. For example, pro-fracking: jobs, transition fuel, energy autonomy and anti-fracking: mega water usage, devalued land, industrialized countryside, water and air risk. Fracking has already well and truly taken hold of the United States whilst the UK is staring down the barrel of major fracking sites throughout the UK as the government sells off licenses.
