Oil spill photograph from the Gulf of Mexico, seen at the Audain

Edward Burtynsky took this photo of the big oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. A photo of the photo at the The Scarred Earth exhibition includes the photographer's shadow, reminding viewers that we're all engaged in consuming petroleum products.

Afterwards, it was a relief to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the Audain Art Museum.
