| 3 dimensional weavings by Marsha Borden. “This body of work represents the culmination of a year-long study of microalgae existing in our local Connecticut waters. The work involves large-scale artistic renderings of a selection of Harmful Algal Blooms (HABS) threatening our sound and estuaries due to ongoing climate change impacts. These three-dimensional panels exploit the expressive qualities of fiber (both natural and manmade) while highlighting the fragile yet resilient condition of our ocean and some of the detrimental organisms within it. Exhibition is available to be viewed Tuesday through Saturday during building hours. |
