As part of the Sinking Cities exhibition at SUNY Purchase Gallery (curated by Tal Berry), I hosted a workshop of painting clay boats to fill with cattails to float down the local waterway. The clay, once on the bottom of the river bed would attract and sequester heavy metals. The cattail seeds would disperse and take root along the banks, acting as a native biological water cleaner and habitat for ecosystem revival.

An interactive investigation of the environment around us, past, present, future. Desire invited participants to explore Lower Manhattan through a map depicting previous shorelines and future water rise levels. While doing so, they could carry a bottle of blue liquid to trace their path through the city. A reinvestigation of my 2007 project Paths of Desire.

With Clarinda Mac Low, a large scale painting of the waterways around NYC. This floor painting was an immersive orienting tool for the gallery space showcasing water-based art works. In addition, we created a video to project on the floor, I created the past shorelines and Clarinda created imagined futures.
