Crude Appetite is my attempt to identify us with our addiction to oil. Gasoline and automobiles often get the limelight, as it were, for calling attention to a natural resource that we are exhausting. However, petroleum is part of a number of products and our addiction goes much deeper. We hope to think we are occasional users, simply replacing gasoline with another source solves our problems, we can quit any time. We are truly addicted, we behave like addicts; we ignore our habit and do anything we can to feed it. As I type this statement I am pushing plastic key made from oil derivatives and I am wear shoes made from oil derivatives, I am an addict. My name is Chris Sikkenga, please help me.
