I will strengthen my artistic skills, create a solo exhibition, and engage in creative research through meetings with local environmental experts. The completion of a new body of work, a solo exhibition, and the establishment of relationships with water quality and environmental experts, will serve as the evaluation of my project's outcome.
Beginning a new body of work, experimenting with new materials/media, and increased understanding of water quality. Successfully researched water quality, had successful technical material experiments, created new installations that were well-received at the open studio.
