Water Habitat- Baltimore



















Water Habitat:

The collection of water from every natural water source (stream, run, river, pond, lake, bay, etc) in Baltimore city and county.
Using previously used beverage containers found on site: USGS and Google Earth Maps and Performance to endear that which has lost value in our society.
Reconnecting with My Scottish ancestors who served as surveyors for the crown in colonial Virginia; Performance, labor; Highlighting a wasteful shift in how modern society views materials and its environ; Bringing value to that which has no value; and the manifestation of these ideas into sculpture/ form/ installation within a gallery context are the goals for this project.
Can dirty water collected in used/discarded plastic beverage containers be formalized into a object of beauty?
