Under a Clear Blue Sky: What Could Suncor Be?

What lies ahead? Reimagining the world. Only that.  – Arundhati Roy

Under a Clear Blue Sky is a collection of collages and prints answering the question “What could Suncor be?”. The Suncor oil refinery in Commerce City has been a known source of pollution and severe adverse health effects for decades. These works explore how the site could be transformed into something new that serves the interests of the surrounding neighborhoods while contributing to Colorado’s ambitious goal to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The theme is inspired by activists like printmaker Favianna Rodriguez and marine biologist Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson who both use their platforms to creatively envision a healthier and more sustainable future.

Under a Clear Blue Sky was on display as part of an artist residency at Platte Forum in March of 2025. The show was covered by 9News and Westword.
