About Me

I am an artist working to raise awareness of the global water crisis through installation/public art. I'm creating an installation with 13,699 recycled plastic water bottle caps that represent people who die because they don't have access to clean water. I'm taking this project into high schools, colleges, and public venues inviting people to help create the installation.

  • Thanks, Jen. This is 13,699 at Annmarie Garden's GREEN TOO exhibit. And next to is a crocheted coral reef made by Mary Ellen Croteau with help from Aviva Alter and Mary Buczyk from Chicago. It's not easy to see from this photo, but in the back the "reef" is made of plastic and looks bleached. In the foreground the "reef" is made of colorful yarn. It's very cool.

  • Best of luck, Eleanor. You have been so helpful and available and responsive. I will miss your support, but look forward to working with Jen. I know you'll have great success on your new path. Keep me posted on what you are doing. Best, Christine
