Using knitting wire as her medium for her Project Space Grant artwork, Carolyn Halliday plans to present an immersive environment of installation art in the Kolman & Reeb Gallery related to climate change.
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. Second, Halliday’s work will remind us of the smokey grey horizon we endured during the summer of 2023 caused by rampant forest fires. Finally, Halliday 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.
