This summer I received an invitation to participate in The Arctic Circle Residency 2023, an art and science expedition to the High Arctic. From October 1-18, 2023, I will be sailing around the North Pole, which will be both a career milestone and a tremendous opportunity. I have been working with and printing on ice since 2010, so the residency gives me chance to research this amazing material in its natural environment, as well as witness climate change first-hand.
I will be working on a few key projects on location during the residency, as well as afterwards at my Florida studio. The Sounds of Disappearance is a soundscape and sound-blending project, and I am currently testing materials with sound designers at Ringling College of Art + Design, where I work as a Printmaking Professor.
For the Wind Whispers project, I have teamed up with Dr. Kata Dozsa, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher at University of Antwerp Faculty of Law in Belgium. She specializes in children’s rights, and in connection with UNICEF Belgium, they will be helping me collect powerful messages from youth across the world. I will print these messages in the Arctic, and document how they are activated by the wind. Then, on December 6-8 at Genth University, Dr. Dozsa and I will give a lecture at the International Conference ‘The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 75.’ Dr. Dozsa’s portion of the lecture will concentrate on children’s rights, and mine on the project we co-created, Wind Whispers.
