Witnessing Climate Change
46 Years in the Arctic
The Black Guillemot is a circumpolar seabird, whose Arctic populations are associated with sea ice throughout the year. With 46 consecutive years of field research, George Divoky has created a unique, extended data set that provides compelling evidence of the biological consequences of a warming Arctic. I am collaborating with George Divoky and science educator Katie Morrison to create a series of paintings and stories that illustrate biological, atmospheric, and emotional impacts of climate change. In Summer of 2019, Morrison and I traveled to Cooper Island to work with Divoky for two weeks, collecting images and audio recordings that became the foundation for an interdisciplinary exhibition.
