Sinking Shore by Clarinda Mac Low

Sinking Shore by Clarinda Mac Low

Sinking Shore is a series of works on paper using photo transfer, watercolor, and digital and physical collage. Sinking Shore is an outgrowth of Sunk Shore, a collaboration between Mac Low and dancer/marine ecologist Carolyn Hall, where Hall and Mac Low lead participants on a site-based tour that time travels from the far past to the present to the climate changed future of specific shorelines, offering an embodied experience of climate change data. Sinking Shore offers another portal into this embodiment, as documentation from tours of the shoreline of Governors Island explodes into the past and future landscapes that are evoked by the tour narrative. Hall and Mac Low will also lead a live series of speculative conversations in response to the works.

This installment of Works on Water’s three year triennial turns to concepts of long-term care for our urban waterfront ecology and reconsideration of water time-scales. 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.
