Mercury in Tap Water, 2021 Digital photography of drawing with mercury oxide in tap water, dimensions variable. Through a series of micro photos, I explored the appearance of polluted water with heavy metals. I was curious if there is an aesthetic or other way to clean contaminated water by making it into an artwork. These micro photos of mercury in water are beautiful. They generate light and move without explanation. One can say that mercury demonizes water.
Counting 370 Years, 2022 Dimensions variable.
This work is about water pollution and time. Something was built in the past and polluted the Hudson River, and in (n) number of years, they say the fish will be edible again. Observing the dead waters of the river, I wanted to visualize what they meant for a human life seventy years ago and eighty years in the future. https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=23200101T00&p0=179&msg=Until+the+Hud- son+riv er++water+will+be+clean&ud=1&font=serif https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?msg=Countdown%20Timer&p0=179&ud=1&- year=1947&month=1&day=1&hour=0&min=0&sec=0&fromtheme=vote
