To convey our work, whether it is a piece of art or the results of data modeling, we need it to tell a compelling visual story.
It's Not Just the Heat... It's the Salt
This project has deepened and broadened my art practice trajectory, literally taking my artwork off the wall and into the air.
The Marine Heatwave imagery is intentionally both large and small scale. We wanted the sculpture to intrigue viewers from a distance and invite them to come close and explore.
This collaboration has been profoundly enriching, both personally and professionally. The artwork became more than just a visual representation; exploration of Marine Heatwaves, their impacts, and the essence of our scientific endeavors. Through this collaboration, I've found a meaningful avenue for outreach, enabling engagement with our local community.
