Enviro-Gods: Eelio

2014

Many of my books address ecosystem balance, sustainability, and ecological and cultural evolution. In this piece I focus on cultural evolution, in the form of religious practice. Eelio is the second in this series. The name "Eelio" is derived from the words "Helios" and "eel." Helios is the Greek god of the sun—a primary energy source. Electric eels are a fitting manifestation for an energy god as they generate their own electricity. Eelio's wings are solar sails and he exhales a cool flame. This single folio pop-up was developed for the Paper Fox Printmaking Workshop at Lawrence University in 2014. $225.00
