Between a Sea and a Shore by Ella Mahoney

Between a Sea and a Shore is a storytelling project which took place in the spring of 2021 as part of Tending the Edge on the shores of the Rockaways. Ella Mahoney explored human relationships with the ocean through peoples' stories with water by asking them the questions “what is your story with water?” and “how do you care for the water, or how does it help you care for yourself?”. The exploration ended with this painting representing stories of joy, awe, and humbling, being carried into the ocean in celebration and play.

WoWhaus Resident artists’ and Tending the Edge artists’ projects call attention to marginalized ecological community members, and to water’s cycles of time and being.
