September 2021.
I was invited to be Artist-at-Sea in July and August on an oceanographic research vessel, R/V FALKOR, with a team of scientists from Scripps Oceanographic Institution and the U.S. Geological Survey. The purpose of the cruise was to explore and conduct a baseline survey of the borderlands of the continental crust off the coast of California. To watch a short video about our cruise and read my blogs, “Who Drinks the Water of Life?” and “Painting Other Worlds” please visit:
