Selina Ozanne
The Miraculous White Dust

Exhibition

This work is a revised narrative of the events depicted in the book ‘Silent Spring’ by Rachel Carson. It recounts the spring of 1961 in the village of Tumby, Lincolnshire where tens of thousands of birds were found dead due to the use of the now banned pesticide DDT, ironically labelled by Winston Churchill as ‘the miraculous white dust’.
