EARTH WIND & FISSION was a solo show by Faithfull at the Peter Potter Gallery, Haddington in 2013, investigating issues of Power at Cockenzie Cal Burning Power Station, Torness Nuclear Power Station and Aiken Gall Wind Farm in East Lothian.

The piece STONE PAPER SCISSORS incorporated three plinth mounted sculptures infront of a large wall-mounted photograph.

It represents the contemporary global challenges with competing energy sources and resources.
Using the traditional playground game of STONE PAPER SCISSORS, the 'Stone' represents coal power, 'Paper' wind power and the 'Scissors' nuclear fission.

In this version of the game, akin to the energy debate, nobody effectively wins and the accompanying sculptures reflect this in their choice of materials. The 'Scissors' are laser cut from a block of coal, the 'Paper' is made form a perforated and lined sheet of steel and the 'Stone' is formed into a block of paper.
Behind the three sculptures presented on high plinths, a photograph depicts electric pylons in conflict with a shrinking natural woodland.
