Artist Reception: Making Climate Change Visible
See Carolyn Halliday’s Project Space Grant Exhibition: Making Climate Change Visible, talk with Carolyn about her grant activities, and enjoy tasty treats.
Carolyn presents an immersive environment of installation art in the Kolman & Reeb Gallery related to climate change using wire knitting as her medium. Drawn from her experiences during the global pandemic lockdown of COVID-19, Halliday hopes to summon gallery patrons’ awareness of the increased clarity of the sky because of reduced commuter traffic. Secondly, her work will remind us of the smokey grey horizon we endured during the summer of 2023 caused by rampant forest fires. Finally, Carolyn asks us to consider the startling and colorful orange, red, and pink sunsets, made intensely more beautiful by the presence of heavy particulates that cause air pollution.
