 ART WORKS RESIDENCY 2016

As part of the Art Works Residency in 2016 I created a project entitled: Moving Like a River, which collaboratively re-imagines the role of the San Lorenzo River through art and science. I engaged visitors in map-making, water-quality testing, and provided creative river field guides in both English and Spanish for self-guided tours. I collaborated with local topography mapmaker Mathew Jaimeson to create three life-sized maps of the entire San Lorenzo Watershed, as well as River Scientist Alev Bilginsoy with the CWC to render one of the large maps in UV-respondent bacteria, to highlight the naturally occurring, and human-created bacteria found throughout its tributaries. I also worked with the Santa Cruz Sand Quarry to build an interactive Erosion Sculpture highlighting the natural process erosion and the influence of human development on river water turbidity.

Patterns in Atmosphere
date: 2016
size: 6'x3'
Medium: single use disposable plastic

The reclaimed used material was sourced from a local commercial agricultural company and was fused with heat into the shape of the stretched globe. Employing the NASA database of atmospheric conditions, the folds were fused into place to mimic atmospheric patterns. This work highlights concerns of deforestation for agricultural purposes contributing to climate change.
