Living on land we forget how intertwined the oceans are with our very existence. The oceans have absorbed a great deal of the warming caused by human activity. From increasingly extreme storms to melting glaciers we face an unstable climate future. These works on paper began as a way to plan out future fiber projects. As I experimented, I realized that paper was actually an ideal vehicle for expressing the fragility of this moment. Suspending the pieces in the air conveyed the tenuousness of the moment.
I also did not want to neglect the sheer beauty of the natural world. My hope is that this work will remind people how essential the oceans are to our existence.
