| Underwater Trees by Micki Colbeck |
March 1 to April 29, 2013
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 7, 5-7 pm
Artist Statement:
Earth, the “blue planet” is unique in the known universe for its abundance of and its ability to maintain liquid water. We live on one of the strangest, most delicate places in the universe. Every chemical reaction in our bodies and on our planet depends on the presence of water.*
I have been thinking about water—about glaciers, about floods and hurricanes, about storm surges and sea walls, and its consequences, displaced populations and destroyed farmlands.
I have been looking at water and down into water, wading on rocks and studying reflections. The result is this exhibit of large oil paintings, entitled “Underwater.”
