“Changing Waters” looks at the meteorological
and oceanic interactions within the Gulf of Maine. Using data from
NOAA and GOMOSS buoys within the Gulf of Maine, as well as weather
stations along the coast, I am translating data that explores the
seasonal variations of marine life by looking at the interactions
of atmospheric and marine data. Elements of the rich New England
fishing history are also included. This large-scale installation consists
of a large wall installation (33 feet wide) that plots information
through the geographic anchors of a map of the Gulf of Maine, as well
as a series of large, hanging structures (10 feet high) that look
at more specific biological, chemical or geophysical relationships
between marine ecosystems and weather patterns.
