Making Choices
Adaptation vs Erasure
Photo taken in 2021 from the ferry to Governors Island, NYC, where I will start working again on Tidal Flushing Monday June 1-14.
Please join me 1: PM June 6 if you will be in NYC, for a porch chat about my new project, Tidal Flushing, which I will be developing as part of my residency at SWALE House on Governor’s Island, New York. There won’t be Zoom access for the conversation but I will report after the fact. My residency is at the invitation of Patricia Watts of ecoart space. In the next two weeks as I perform this residency, I will be making a decision about whether it’s prudent to sell my studio and wharf on Vinalhaven Island, Maine to aquaculture fishermen. The sale would require me to find another place to store my inventory and another way to continue my practice. The porch chat will be about all the ways climate change is forcing unmanageable adaption on many of us and how we can commemorate those adaptations without self-erasure or denial.
