21st Century Antarctica - The Science and Landscape of Palmer Station

首席研究员建议收集有关南极半岛气候变化的科学研究、独特生物学和证据的信息。在她作为“探险艺术家”前往南极的航行中，类似于早期探险家所携带的艺术家，PI将密切观察气候，景观，海洋和生态，以获得有关该地区的第一手知识。她还将在实验室和实地研究中与科学家互动，了解他们的研究及其对人类理解世界和气候变化的重要性。这位艺术家将使用日常日志、绘画、照片、小铜版雕刻、录音和对科学家的采访来详细记录她的发现。Pi将使用在现场收集的信息作为一系列浮雕玻璃雕刻的基础。PI的媒介是一种传统的技术，通过雕刻玻璃层来制作浮雕雕刻。这些版画的目的是捕捉该地区的精髓和正在进行的研究，目的是教育广大公众了解南极洲和这片大陆。美国对全球福利的重要性。一些雕刻将是大型的，壁挂式面板作品和其他作品将是雕刻的玻璃物体，在木材和玻璃展示柜中展示。一份艺术家作品集？S的实地研究和笔记将伴随展览。Pi还将为西雅图地区的高中生讲授讲习班。并在服务委员会的夏季艺术项目中与年轻人一起开展类似的项目，服务委员会是一个非营利组织，为南西雅图的弱势青年提供指导。

The Principal Investigator proposes to gather information about the scientific research, unique biology andevidence of a changing climate occurring on the Antarctic Peninsula. Actin during her voyage to the Antarctic as an "expedition artist," simialr to those who were carried by early explorers, the PI will closely observe the climate, landscape, oceanography and ecology to gain first-hand knowledge about the region. She will also interact with scientists in the lab and on field studies to learn about their research and its importance to human understanding of the world and climate change. The artist will make detailed documentations of her discoveries using daily log entries, drawings, photographs, small copperplate engravings, audiofield recordings and interviews with scientists. The Pi will use use the information gatheeed in the field as the basis for a series of cameo-glass engravings. The PI's medium is a traditional technique of carving away layers of glass to make arelief engraving. The engravings will aim to capture the essence of the region and the research being carried out for the purpose of educating a wide public about Antarctica and the continent?s importance to global welfare. Some of the engravings will be large, wall mounted panel works and other pieces will be carved glass objects shown in wood and glass display cabinets. A catalog compiling the artist?s field studies and notes will accompany the exhibition. The Pi will also teach workshops to Seattle-area high school students. and run a similar program with youth in the summer arts program of the Service Board, a non-profit organization that mentors under-represented youth of South Seattle.
