Artist Comments about the Turtle Environs Installation Projection: “I met Dr. Alina Szmant at a panel on science and art collaborators held at The Center for Marine Science at University of North Carolina Wilmington. For several years since then we have tried to put our ideas together to satisfy my need to be true to my artistic self and her need to present scientific material in a logical way. We have had many brainstorming sessions and I also have learned more about environmental concerns. I made the monotypes of the turtle’s world from memory. Later when I had installed the prints in the wonderful 16 foot wall space in the gallery, I had the idea to superimpose the video over the top and see if it worked. I was so excited when I saw the results, as the turtle’s movement and the sparkle of water in the video, enhanced the feeling of the prints and reinforced the gestures in the prints. As the video changed it enhanced the prints and made new statements. Sometimes the space between the prints became a geometric structure, sometimes the color changed; it was so alive. |

Turtle Boil (Hatching) Installation – 2017 – Wilmington NC We multiply but Five monotypes with linocut turtles printed on hem, joined by 100’s of cutout linocut turtles. A turtle boil is when the 100 or so turtles in a nest hatch, dig their way out of the sand and make a dash to the sea.

Luttringhaus and I did a performance between the old slave
quarters and the Bellamy Mansion using a similar installation
of stark trees and light and our bodies to show the relationships
between the people in both houses. We always wonder why people
can’t forget the past and go on, but past history really
affects the present feelings of all people. It is the same
in this rendition, “Shadows of the Past II”. Here
I address a new serious issue, we are in one of the greatest
times of extinction of animals and plants because of climate
change and pollution. Please join me in looking at just a
few of the animals that are leaving our world forever. Become
engaged, enjoy connectivity with nature in your city, state
and national parks. In our future people will be even more
crowded than we are. On each small print on the dead trees
are extinct or endangered species. These are just a few of
the many, many species. It is overwhelming.
Please express your concern and join forces with the many
volunteers and scientists working to save them, and perhaps
ultimately us.
