On the Atlantic coast of New England, there has been a documented impact of
sea level rise, which is slowly drowning salt marsh plants not evolved to
sustain repeated tidal inundation. The weakened Spartina grasses are
weakened, then attacked by opportunistic pathogens and galls. The tides then
wash the plants out to sea further eroding the coastline in a subtractive
basis. Further, southerly species push northward causing a broken trophic
cascade of species migration and displacement.
This has been documented in a collaborative work called Requiem for a
Drowning Landscape, exhibited at the New York Hall of Science, 2008-2009.

Works include video projections on hand made Spartina paper set on a scrim
of sheer linen- Spartina Winter Ice, representing a time lapse of the last
day of winter on the salt marsh when the ice sheets break off, melt and are
absorbed by the rising spring tides.
A Memorial work represented a time line of growth and decay was installed
along the meanders of a tidal creek within a short form Spartina
alterniflora marsh, where the tides now cover the marsh on a regular basis.
The Museum and gallery installations followed the themes of Remembrance,
Recollection and Retelling as befits a Requiem for a Drowning Landscape.
