River As Love Story - Revealing Hidden Systems on the Ipswich River Watershed

Caroline and I have embarked on an effort to articulate our thoughts and inquiry about revealing the unseen systems underpinning watersheds. We expect The Rivers Project to continue as a thread throughout our active art careers. Watersheds can define and determine how all species are sustained in the world. They come with a history that is rarely visible unless it is “searched for”. They tell the stories of love that catalyze settlement, industry, migration, reproduction, wars, raw beauty, pollution and sustenance. “The sea refuses no river”, unless the river cannot reach the sea.

The piece that we are working on will be installed in the lobby of New England Biolabs in Ipswich from Labor Day to Halloween. Access may be limited but we will endeavor to document it well and bring it to you as many ways as we can.
