On Wednesday, several artist friends -- a group of women who regularly meet to discuss books, shows, and ideas -- came to the Creative Crossroads exhibit in the Brickbottom Gallery and to my studio to see and comment on some further pieces that I am working on in my studio. They asked about the process by which they were created, and the form of my collaboration with Elva and Soffia. I showed some of the original images I had created via Photoshop to illustrate the beginning of process of collaboration. I was encouraged to continue . I have some ideas for new imagery that I want to pursue --after going to a lecture at the Radcliffe Institute about ocean ecosystems --various plankton, whose behavior and genetic makeup are affected by global warming. Today, April 6, Janette Brossard, my good friend from Havana, came and we talked about wanting to see a huge wall of the panels, organized by hues and values. This is a goal for me.
Here is the way Variations 1-6 look in the Brickbottom Gallery.

I am very excited about my return to Iceland in September to work with Elva and Soffia at Hvitahús for a week. We will continue to expand our collaboration and talk about how to make visible aspects of global warming. Elva sent me 3 images of other panels from our collabotative piece, Horizon. She and I talked this morning about dates for my residency with her.
Elements like this would be included as part of a large wall that I hope we will create together.
