The frames are hung in a grid pattern to create a larger design.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit is free and open to the public during library hours which are Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Using hand-drawn lettering mixed with factual data on climate change, Hess has created graphic art that calls attention to water, earth, air, plastic, and trees. Each of these pieces is comprised of 25 framed works while a larger work titled \u201c100 Things\u201d features 100 framed pieces.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18716\" style=\"width: 283px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/media-old\/2018\/08\/WATER-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18716\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-18716\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/media-old\/2018\/08\/WATER-1-273x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"273\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-18716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Consider Water.&#8221; by Ingrid Hess.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Hess, who is an assistant professor of graphic design at UMass Lowell, will discuss the exhibit on Thursday, Sept. 20, from 3 to 5:30 p.m., during a welcome reception and artist talk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany people consider climate change to be the most pressing issue facing our world today,\u201d said Hess. \u201cWhile it is difficult to admit, we all contribute to this problem. There are many things we can do to decrease our impact upon the environment, but no amount of behavior modification will solve the problem unless it includes reducing our consumption. Until we address how we consume resources the problem of climate change will continue to escalate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her exhibit, she notes, asks viewers to examine their own relationship with natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>Hess earned a bachelor\u2019s from Goshen College and a MFA from Indiana University. She has published several books including \u201cMr. Magnificent\u2019s Magical Merrimack Adventure,\u201d and \u201cAn Amish Alphabet\u201d. She has also been the recipient of a Fulbright Specialist Award, and The Rodda Book Award.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit is sponsored by the Haverhill Cultural Council as well as the NECC Liberal Arts Division &amp; the Art Dept.
